Borough meetings are held at the Borough office (3 Bennett St.) at 7 pm every third Tuesday of the month.  Public presence is always encouraged and welcome.

2019 Work sessions will be held 6:00 pm on the first Wednesday of each month at the Borough office and are also open to the public.  Look for our newsletter on the back of your monthly sewer bill.

Water Authority meetings are every third Wednesday of the month at the Borough office on Bennett at 7 pm.  Public is welcome.

Eldred Borough Fire Department meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month at 6 pm.

Garbage day is Wednesday.  Please be sure to have your cans to the curb by 7 am.

Although Council cannot pick and choose which residents must pay their bills in full and which do not have to, all customers are eligible to take advantage of this program. Therefore, no further exceptions or negotiations to the billing process are available.

This is the billing process:

The monthly billing date is the 1^st of each month.

Monthly bills are due by the 30^th day from the billing date.

Late fees are assessed on the 31^st day if a bill is not paid.

After 60 days of not being paid a late fee is assessed.

After 90 days of not being paid a late fee is assessed and a payment plan is available. If no payment plan is made the amount goes to the courthouse for judgement.

This court process will add, at the very least, an additional $100.00 in court fees.

You can avoid these fees by paying your bill on time or choosing to take part in a payment program that is offered by the borough at the 90-day mark.  You must call the borough BEFORE the past due amount goes to the courthouse and sign an agreement in order to take part in the payment plan and avoid the court fees.

The Borough Council is NOT at liberty to make exceptions beyond the payment plan which is available to every account 90 days past due and before the amount owed goes to the magistrate’s office for judgement.

Dog licenses for 2019 will be available at the county treasurer’s office beginning Monday.

McKean County residents can purchase dog licenses for 2019 from their acting county treasurer, Sherri Swanson. State law requires all dogs three months and older to be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year.

Beginning today, licenses can also be purchased at the Bradford Senior Center, Port Allegany Northern Tier Thrift Store, Eldred Senior Center and the Kane Community Center.

An annual dog license is $8.50 or $6.50 if the animal is spayed or neutered. Lifetime licenses are available for dogs that have permanent identification like a microchip or tattoo. Older adults and people with disabilities may be eligible for discounts. You may purchase a license online here. Contact the Treasurer's office at 814-887-3220 with any questions.

WILDLIFE EMERGENCIES should be directed to the region office that serves the county where the incident is taking place. We appreciate your concern for wildlife. Please keep in mind that our officers cover large expanses of land and necessarily prioritize their work load. Mother Nature is sometimes difficult to see in action.

ROAD-KILLED DEER should be reported directly to the region office that serves the county where the animal is located. A variety of entities handle road-killed deer removal throughout the state and the region office can clarify the proper authorities to notify based on the location of the animal.
