Bridgeville Borough is nestled between bridges to the north and south and surrounded by Chartiers Creek. The community is an easy drive to downtown Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh International Airport.

With a population of approximately 5,300 residents, its small town feel is appealing to growing families and empty nesters, as well as young professionals. Bridgeville has affordable housing, first-class schools, a community association, an athletic association, a summer recreation program, a public library and offers many senior services.

Historically, Bridgeville has been made up of hardworking people who care about their neighbors and volunteer tirelessly to make their community a better place to live.

The Holy Child Knights of Columbus invites you to the First Annual "Prayer for Peace" on September 11, 2008, 7:00 p.m. at the Bridgeville V.F.D., 370 Commercial Dr, Bridgeville. We want to bring our community together to commemorate the 7th anniversay of the terrorist attack on our nation, remember those who lost their lives during that fateful day, and honor our firefighters, police forces and service men and women currently serving to protect us against a recurrence of such acts against our country.

Bridgeville Street Sweeping schedule for 2008 is posted on the Public Works page (Public Services)here. Sweeping is important to keep storm drains clear from debris that may have occurred during winter snow plowing and ordinary run-off.
 
Do not rake leaves or lawn debris into storm drains.

Everyday solutions to prevent groundwater pollution! Water is our most precious resource and run-off from rain can drive contaminants into our rivers and creeks. Read what we can do to protect our natural resources here.

The Homestead Act or "Act 50" Exclusion provides real estate property tax relief to homeowners whose permanent residence is in a participating taxing jurisdiction.  We often associate the word "homestead" with the times of the California Gold Rush, the Pony Express, the telegraph and the Transcontinental and Pacific Railroads. The Homestead Act has more modern day application, and you must register for the Exclusion as the first broad-based distribution of state gaming funds through the PA Tax Payer Relief Act will occur in 2009. Registered homeowners in the Chartiers Valley School District can expect real estate tax relief in the amount of $107.59. The Homestead Exclusion is intended to ensure that real estate property tax reductions benefit the homeowner first and allows for the first $15,000 of their primary residence to be exempt from County taxes (saves about $40-50 per year). Many homeowners in our community are NOT registered. If you don't know if you are registered, go to the Allegheny Real Estate Assessment site here, locate your property and the bottom left it will indicate "yes" or "no" next to homestead.  If you are not registered, you can view and print a registration form and instructions here. The deadline for registering is March 1, for current year distributions -- and you only need to register once.

Stormwater Phase I Community Education - Stormwater Runoff can be Harmful to Streams
Every time it rains, large quantities of pollutants wash into our area streams and rivers, causing pollution that is harmful to our aquatic life and quality of streams. Read more here.

Stormwater Phase II Community Education - Recycling of Computers, Televisions and Electronics
Americans discard more than 100 million computers, cell phones and other electronic devices each year. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University estimate the 60 million personal computers have already been buried in landfills, and according to the National Safety Council, nearly 250 million computers will become obsolete between 2004 and 2009, or 136,000 each day! You can read more here.

Upper St. Clair Twp. & JVS Environmental offer recycling of old computer equipment (CPUs, monitors, printers, etc.), TVs, other electronics, appliances (non-freon containing) on Saturday, September 20, 2008 from 9:am to 2:p.m.+. Read and print their poster here to learn about the collection location, and all the other items you can recycle -- most you can recycle for free!
