***UPDATE*** Water service has been restored, however we do ask that everyone do their best to conserve water as the tank refills and well catches up from this massive break. You may experience some discolored water as air is still coming through the system. The water is safe to use but not to consume and we are on a 10 day boil water advisory.

Our annual elections were held last evening at the regular monthly business meeting for December.

The officers for 2023 are as follows.

* President: John Pagano

* Vice President: Ken Nowak

* Secretary: Austin Dunham

* Treasurer: Scot F. Boyce, Sr.

* Trustee: Peter Lupkowski

Trustee: Tyler Huck

Trustee: Steve Daugherty

Fire Chief: Lonnie Campbell

1st Asst. Chief: Chad Boyce

2nd Asst. Chief: Mike Pierce

3rd Asst. Chief: Josh Simmons

We would also like to express our sincerest gratitude to outgoing Treasurer Sue Champaign for the many many years of dedicated service you have given us, keeping our finances and records in perfect order and invoices and accounts all taken care of promptly over the years.

You made all of our jobs that much easier with your professional accounting and reliability.

Although we would love for you to have continued on, your choice to retire from the post is well deserved, and we thank you !

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) recently recognized PennDOT employees with Innovation Awards for their efforts to improve work practices and create efficiencies. Three team members from PennDOT’s District 2, which represents Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Juniata, McKean, Mifflin, and Potter counties were among the honorees.

“PennDOT has a strong legacy of creativity to help us meet our daily mission and goals,” said PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian. “I’m proud to recognize these employees for their creativity and dedication to the department.”

Employees were recognized for ideas and smart practices submitted through IdeaLink and WorkSmart, online suggestion systems that allow employees to share their ideas and efficient work practices. Over the last decade, PennDOT staff have submitted more than 3,300 ideas through IdeaLink, several hundred of which have been implemented. Since 2016, more than 230 smart practices have been published in PennDOT’s WorkSmart system.

Gramian and other department executives honored winners Mike Rogato, Cody Conklin, and Bruce Muthler during a ceremony in Harrisburg on Nov. 30. Rogato, from Elk County, was recognized for painting marks on the walls of salt sheds, helping to improve proper stacking of salt and providing a clear display showing inventory levels. Conklin, from Clearfield County,  was recognized for designing and fabricating folding forks to be mounted on a backhoe. This helps crews be more efficient and reduces the risk of injury from employees lifting heavy objects. Muthler, from Clinton County, was recognized for refabricating plow blades to add curvature. This prevents snow from rising over the top of the plow blade and building up on the driver side windshield. This improves visibility and enhances safety.

District 2 Executive Tom Zurat noted, “Over the past few years, emphasis on innovations in District 2 has led to a variety of quality innovations.” “These three award winners are wonderful examples of this effort.”

DRINKING WATER WARNING

BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING

HIERVAN EL AGUA ANTES DE USARLA.

ESTE INFORME CONTIENE INFORMACION MUY IMPORTANTE SOBRE SU AGUA DE BEBER.

TRADUZCALO O HABLE CON ALGUIEN QUE LO ENTIENDA BIEN.

Roulette Township Water May Be At Increased Risk From Microbial Contamination.

We routinely monitor the conditions in the distribution system. On 12/5/22, we experienced a loss of positive water pressure due to a water line break. A loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back pressure or back siphonage. As a result, there is an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms.

What should I do?

DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using; or use bottled water. You should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and food preparation until further notice.

Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.

These symptoms, however, are not caused only by organisms in drinking water, but also by other factors. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.

Guardians of infants and young children and people at increased risk, such as pregnant women, some of the elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems, should seek advice from their health care advisors about drinking this water. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426 4791.

What happened? What is being done?

We experienced a water line break at well 4. Parts were obtained early on 12/6/22 to repair the line. The line should be repaired by the afternoon of 12/6/22. In order to make the proper repairs we had to turn the water off at the water tank, which then shut the water down to the entire town. Bottled water is available to the residents at the Roulette Fire Department.

We will inform you when all corrective actions have been completed and when you no longer need to boil your water.

For more information, please contact: Nita Spencer

Township Supervisor

at 814-544-7549

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

This notice is being sent to you by Roulette Township .
