WYOMISSING BOROUGH SIDEWALK
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Wyomissing Borough will continue the program to repair damaged
public sidewalks. The Borough has thousands of street trees which
help to make Wyomissing a beautiful place to live, but these same trees
also cause sidewalk issues. Last year the Borough began implementing
a 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program to improve the quality of our
public sidewalk system. The program will be based off of a cooperative
agreement between homeowners and the Borough, in which the
Borough will contribute half the cost, up to $1,000, for voluntary
repairs made to a public sidewalk, by the homeowner. Priority will
be given to residents who have significant sidewalk damage due to
Borough street trees. Annual funding for this program will be limited
to $50,000 per year. Please contact Borough Hall at 610-376-7481
for more information and to receive an application. Information
and applications will also be available on the Borough website,
wyomissingboro.org. The deadline to apply is April 30, 2016, for this
year.
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
The Borough is continually maintaining and upgrading our
Infrastructure, whether it be replacing a 75 year old water main,
lining a cracked or broken sewer main, or paving a street that is
at the end of its life expectancy. Listed are the projects for the
upcoming construction season. During construction there may
be detours or other inconveniences, please be patient as we make
these improvements.
SEWER SYSTEM – We will continue cleaning, televising and
lining pipe in some of the older parts of the Borough.
WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT – We will be replacing older cast
iron water main in Bluejay Drive and in a Right Of Way between
Hummingbird Road and Farr Road.
STREET PAVING – This year will be the most aggressive paving
schedule we have had in a long time. As we pave streets, we
also replace all handicap ramps and work with homeowners to
replace broken curbs. The streets to be repaved in 2016 are:
Parkside Drive North - Wyomissing Boulevard to Park Road
Cheltenham Drive – Wellington Boulevard to Robert Road and
a small portion of Downing Drive
Wayne Avenue – Reading Boulevard to Trent Avenue
SMOKE ALARMS, A SOUND
YOU CAN LIVE WITH!
Between 2009 and 2013, fires in homes with no smoke alarms
caused an average of 94 deaths per year. An additional 510 people
were fatally injured when smoke alarms were present but failed
to operate. Power source failure was the leading cause of smoke
alarm failures.
The Wyomissing Fire Department and Township of Spring Fire
Rescue are honored to introduce our “Smoke Alarm and Carbon
Monoxide Detector” program. If you do not have a smoke alarm
or carbon monoxide detector, we will install them at no
cost to you.
You can pick up pamphlets at the fire station or Borough Hall.
Simply fill out the form and return it to the fire station.
If you have smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors you can
follow these tips to make sure they are ready and working.
•
Test your detectors monthly
•
Change the batteries twice a year when you change your
clocks
•
Never borrow a battery from a smoke alarm or carbon
monoxide detector
In an effort to enhance your fire safety preparedness you should
create a family escape plan and practice it. Your plan should
identify at least two ways out of your house, and a designated
meeting location away from your house. Be sure that your
meeting location is in a location that will not have you crossing
a road where emergency vehicles may be traveling. Finally, once
a smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector goes off, GET OUT
AND STAY OUT.

COMMERCIAL FIRE PROTECTION
ALARM SYSTEMS PROVIDE MORE
THAN JUST LIFE SAVING BENEFITS
Most commercial property owners are aware of the building code
requirement for fire protection and fire alarm monitoring systems
and have variations of these systems in their buildings. The
Borough further requires annual testing and reporting of these
systems.
Some commercial property owners view the required annual
testing, reporting and routine maintenance as yet another cost of
doing business. While the systems can be expensive to purchase
and maintain, their value far exceeds the common perception
that their benefit is only for life safety.
The Borough’s fire department recently responded to an alarm
that was triggered by a smoke detector in an unoccupied area of
a commercial building. The detector was part of an overall fire
protection system that reports to a monitoring company when an
alarm is activated by heat or smoke. The fire department was onsite at the property within one minute of dispatch, with additional
units from surrounding areas responding within three to seven
minutes. Due to the quick notification and response times,
damage to the building, which contains several commercial and
residential tenants, was limited to $20,000.00.
When compared to the estimated value of the structure at
$500,000.00, $20,000.00 is a very small figure. Since the fire
was contained so quickly and prevented from spreading to
the occupied areas of the building, neither the commercial or
residential occupants suffered any loss. This saved the property
owner from losing thousands of dollars in monthly rental
income. Additional damages in the form of lost revenue for the
commercial tenants and out of pocket expenses for residential
tenants that did not have renter’s insurance could have totaled
well over an additional $100,000.00.
The bottom line is that fire protection systems save lives and first
and foremost that is their most important function. As proven by
this incident, they can also save a property owner’s investment,
resources and financial bottom line.
SPRING FIRE SAFETY TIPS
South Park Road – Wayne Avenue to Penn Avenue
Timberline Drive – Greenwood Mall to Pinewood Road
2
The Wyomissing Fire Dept. and the Spring Township Fire Dept. have
worked together to provide fire service for the residents of both
municipalities for many years. In September 2015 an agreement was
reached for Spring Township to provide administrative and operational
management services for the Borough of Wyomissing Fire Department.
What this means in a nutshell to the residents of Wyomissing is that when
there is a fire, at least 6 firefighters will respond to put it out instead of 3.
Spring Township Fire Commissioner Pat Brandenburg and Fire Chief Colin
Hackman have done an excellent job getting the two departments to work
together seamlessly. They share leadership, procedures, equipment,
training, and of course fire calls. In addition to this, The firefighters have
all been trained in the QRS, (Quick Response Service), to respond to
medical emergencies, often before the ambulance arrives.
With warmer weather approaching many of our thoughts tend towards cleaning up from winter, doing repairs around the
home, and enjoying the outdoors. To help make the warmer weather more enjoyable you can follow some of these tips.
INSIDE:
OUTSIDE:
•Check your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
•Make sure your address numbers are visible from the street
•Check your fire extinguishers
•Clean up any debris from winter
•Prepare for possible storm related power outages
•Check outdoor electrical outlets and appliances for damage
•Practice your family escape plan
•Check your grill and gas cylinder for damages before use
For more information, contact the Wyomissing Fire Department by calling (610) 375-4436.

Equipment Collection Grant that the
Borough was awarded. If you haven’t
already picked one up, please stop by
Borough Hall to choose between a new 20
gallon can with a lid or a larger 32 gallon
container with a lid.
WYOMISSING BOROUGH RECYCLES!
RETIREMENT SOLVED!
Criminal Investigator
George R. Bell, Jr. was
honored at a retirement
party and received a
plaque on January 26th
commemorating his
43 years of dedicated
service to the Borough
of Wyomissing. He
joined the police
department in 1972.
He has been a criminal
investigator since 1984. As a criminal investigator, CI Bell worked
tirelessly as an advocate for victims of crime by solving their crimes.
Congratulations to CI Bell!
WYOMISSING CREEK
The Wyomissing Creek is a big asset to our community. It is the focal
point of our Parkland and enjoyed by many residents as they walk
through the area. As scenic as it is, you may not be aware of the stress
it is under due to our urban environment. The vast majority of storm
water runoff drains directly into the creek. Fertilizer, pet waste and
dripping oil from your car all eventually get to the creek via curb lines,
inlets and pipes.
The Borough was able to purchase 11 of these combination containers with
the 902 Equipment Collection Grant.
Please do your part to keep the creek clean by following of these
simple objectives.
•
lean up after your pet and do not put pet waste down storm
C
drain.
•
If you must fertilize, follow application guidelines and clean loose
material off your driveway and sidewalks.
•
Wash your car in the grass, not in the street or driveway.
•
If you do spill oil or antifreeze, clean up with a towel or rag. Do not
hose it off
•
Report anything unusual you may see that would get into storm
sewers.
