 Announcements
ROOF & SOLICITATION PERMITS ARE REQUIRED IN KENHORST BOROUGH!
Many Kenhorst property owners have been approached recently by contractors regarding the possible need for their roof to be replaced due to damage resulting from the May 22nd hail storm.  
 
Property owners and contractors are reminded of the following:
 
A building permit is required if 25% or more of the roof is being replaced.  Siding and gutter work does not require a permit.  Roof permit application forms can be obtained at the Borough Office or accessed online:  
 
The cost for a roof permit is $74.00 and must be applied for and approved prior to the start of work.  Per Borough Ordinance, the permit fee will be doubled if work is begun prior to the permit being issued.      
 
Kenhorst Borough requires that a permit be obtained before any sales representative is authorized to solicit door-to-door.  Property owners are strongly encouraged to ask to see a Borough Solicitation permit which will clearly state the specific date that the permit is approved for.  Contact the Reading Police immediately at 610-655-6111 or 610-655-6116 if you are solicited by someone who cannot produce their approved Kenhorst Solicitation permit. 
 
Please contact the Borough Office with any questions at 610-777-7327 or email info@kenhorstborough.com.  
2rd QTR 2014 SEWER & REFUSE BILLS MAILED
The 2rd Quarter Sewer and Refuse bills were mailed Monday, July 21st - due date is Friday, August 15th.  Property owners are reminded that this quarterly billing is for the time period of mid-March through mid-June 2014. 
 
This bill reflects the new quarterly sewer minimum charge of $100.  This new minimum is a result of increased sewer treatment charges that the Borough must pay to the City of Reading.        
YARD WASTE PICKUP CONTINUES THROUGH TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9th
Tuesday yard waste pickups resumed in March this year and will continue through Tuesday, December 9, 2014.  Residents are encouraged to put grass clippings, weeds, bush/shrubbery clippings and small branches (bundled, no longer than 4 feet in length and weighing less than 40 pounds) out for pickup.  Our trash hauler prefers that yard waste be put in brown paper, biodegradable bags but can also be put loose in open trash containers.  Brown paper biodegradable bags are available at home supply centers such as Sears Hardware, Lowe's and Home Depot. 
 
Questions can be directed to the Borough Office at 610-777-7327 or Eagle Disposal at 717-355-9560.
