The Easter Bunny is returning to West Leechburg on 4/19/25! 

EB will be at the park starting at 12:00PM for pictures and with treats. At approximately 1:00PM the bunny will be escorted through town by the West Leechburg Volunteer Fire Company.

Among other things, council: 
• Approved ordinance 338 officially disbanding the West Leechburg Police Department and repealing any ordinances related to the establishment of the department.
• Approved ordinance 339 authorizing the borough to participate in the Westmoreland County SWAT team. Allegheny Township already participates in the SWAT team and this ordinance just ensures that the SWAT team can legally operate in the borough if needed.

​Among other things, council:
• Discussed sewer billing and sewer billing delinquencies. At this point the borough and KVWPCA have mutually agreed to part ways. KVWPCA will likely continue billing for at least 1-2 more billing cycles as the borough looks for a different billing contractor. All bills sent by KVWPCA are valid and all balances due on delinquent accounts should still be sent to KVWPCA at this time. The borough intends to look for a contractor capable of handling billing and payments both by mail and electronic means. We will provide updates throughout the process. Again, at this time, all bills sent by KVWPCA are still valid and all balances due should still be sent to KVWPCA.
• Authorized advertising an ordinance to allow the Westmoreland SWAT team to act in the borough. The SWAT team is composed of departments from across the county, including Allegheny Township. This ordinance will allow the SWAT team to act within the borough if needed. This is yet another benefit of contracting police coverage with Allegheny Township.
• Authorized the advertising of an ordinance officially disbanding the West Leechburg Borough Police Department. At this point, the department is functionally disbanded, but this ordinance will repeal the ordinance that established the department.
• Authorized HRG to apply for a sewer lining/replacement grant in the area of Bosin, James, and Eighth Streets.
• Discussed the hiring process for a new, full-time public works equipment operator/laborer. More details on this to follow soon in a follow up post.
• Discussed the hiring process for a new, part-time summer laborer. More details on this to follow soon in a follow up post.
• Discussed progress on sewer projects on Ninth Street/Sycamore Street and on Gosser Street.
• Discussed paving the parking lot at the park/borough building using leftover funds from the grant that was used to pave the basketball court last summer.
