2-1-1 Provides Assistance to Residents

During a disaster, PA 2-1-1 works closely with Emergency Services Departments from throughout the state to provide public information to the community and rumor control and trend analysis to County officials. 2-1-1 also reports community needs that are not being met and acts as the central communication point for other community agencies and non-governmental organizations.

Residents looking for shelter locations, evacuation routes, transportation assistance or help in clean-up or rebuilding can dial 211 and receive answers or direction to the correct agency. To find out more visit www.211sepa.org.

The Board of Supervisors would like to thank Nestle Waters North America Inc and the Ridglea Home Owners Association for their donations to South Coventry Township.

Funds donated by Nestle Waters North America were used this summer to purchase two new pieces of playground equipment for Connie Batdorf Park.  The Ridglea HOA recently donated a gazebo, formerly located on HOA property, to the Township that will be relocated to the TS Elliott Walking Trail.

The Board appreciates Nestle Water North America and the Ridglea HOA’s help in improving recreational opportunities in our Township! Check out the Parks and Recreation page for more information regarding recreational opportunities in our area.
