The Township continues to collaborate with Duquesne Light to improve the streetlights in the Township. Duquesne Light offers a program in which they will switch out inefficient HPS (high-pressure sodium) streetlights with more efficient and brighter LED streetlights. This program requires these lights to be in a contiguous location, allows for the replacement of a minimum of 10 lights per year and offers the ability to add more if available. While there is an initial cost for each light switchover, ulti- mately the cost savings will be realized in the electricity saved and less required maintenance. With this program, we are work- ing from the outside borders of the Township into the center. This year we are concentrating on the area from the Beaver County line on Route 30 including Clinton-Frankfort Road and In April, Jerry Horn Construction started construction on Hebron Road. the Municipal Building Addition.

SWIFTREACH 10 Ways to 911 Notification System Evaluate an E-mail Several years ago, the Police Department contracted with Swiftreach Networks, Inc. as the Township’s Emergency Noti- fication service provider. Swift911 is a high speed notification program with the capability of delivering recorded messages to the entire community via telephone, e-mail or text. Currently, there are over 1,600 phone numbers in the Township’s database. Once the Swift911 system became operational, the Township expanded on its use and capabilities. Swift911 is now used by the Findlay Township Municipal Authority to report water breaks or upcoming work and by the Administration Office to notify the community of special events like trash delays or road closures. Our Swift911 has the ability to contact addresses in specific areas, so residents in Clinton won’t receive unnecessary calls about a water break in Westbury. If you are not receiving these calls or have a non-published When you’re going through your e-mail telephone number, please go to the Township’s web site, www. and before you click that link, findlay.pa.us, click on the Police Department Page (under the here are some things to consider first: GOVERNMENT tab), then click on the “Emergency Notifi- cations Swift911” link on the left side of the page, fill in the re- 1.
