Street Sweeping
Street Cleaning
Borough streets are cleaned twice a year starting in the spring. View The Street Sweeping Schedule (PDF). The streets in the Central Business District and the Borough Public Parking Lots are swept on a monthly basis to keep the downtown area clean and safe. Trash receptacles in the downtown area are also emptied on a weekly basis or as needed.
Additional Cleanings
The borough also provides for street sweeping during events such as the Ephrata Fair and other special events, and on request following vehicular accidents.
Parking
All streets and parking lots are posted “no parking” for the day of sweeping. Please avoid parking in those areas since a clear path allows the public works division to do a better job of cleaning our Borough streets.
Additional Service
After the street is swept a herbicide is applied along the curb line to keep the weeds down.
As you can see the program is not just about cleaning the street. It is to improve our community appearance and maintain the quality of our water.
