Pottstown Borough: Better information needed on Web
Pottstown Borough government, including the Pottstown Water and Sewer Authority, has nearly 200 employees and a 2011 budget of more than $39 million.
The descriptions of its various departments, the services they provide, and the people they employ, are described on the Borough’s official Web site. However, the descriptions are brief and inconsistent.
Among Borough departments are:
Police
Fire
Public Works
Codes and Zoning
Parks & Recreation
The Borough and its contractors also operate municipal parking lots, a small airport, a Cable TV operation, curbside trash collection, and a small bus system.
A comprehensive reorganization of the Borough’s Web site to explain these functions should be a top priority in 2011.
