In 2005, the Orrstown Borough Authority requested a merger with the Shippensburg Borough Authority and was approved by both authorities. In 2003, the Shippensburg Borough Authority took over the water facilities of the Huckleberry Land Water Association, which included a water storage tank with a capacity of 0.1 million gallons and a Booster Station. In May, of 2001, Indian Head Spring (Dykeman Springs) was taken off-line by DEP order for needing filtration. In 1993-1994 a new storage tank was constructed in Mainsville, with a storage capacity of 0.25 million gallons. Well #2 in Mainsville, began construction in 1993 and brought into production in 1994, permitted at 1.7 million gallons per day. In 1992 the Borough Authority started adding fluoride to the water supply. In 19, new water storage tanks were built in Roxbury and Cleversburg, with a storage capacity of 0.5 each. The plant was completed and began producing treated water for the water system in 1991, permitted to treat 1.3 million gallons per day. Well #1, in the Village of Cleversburg was brought into production as a new water source in 1990, upgraded permit to 1.2 million gallons per day in 1994.Ĭonstruction of the Gunter Valley Water Treatment Plant was started in 1990. The dam and water shed was sold to The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) in 2003 and in 2007 the water connection was disconnected and shifted to the Letterkenny Reservoir. This replaced the old catch basin and intake structure and improved the storage capacity to 176 million gallons. In 1960, construction was started on the Gunter Valley Dam and was finished in 1961. In April of 1960, the Borough transferred the ownership of the entire water system to the Authority, but continued to operate the water system through a lease agreement. On October 8, 1957, by Ordinance #294 the Borough Authority was given the power to operate the water system. The Authority was chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on November 20, 1950, originally to finance the sewer system. On September 12, 1950, the Shippensburg Borough Council created the Shippensburg Borough Authority by Ordinance #232. Construction continued through 1934 and was a WPA project. A waterline was run through the Roxbury Gap to Shippensburg by way of the Village of Mongul. In 1933, the Borough built a catch basin and intake structure to harness water at Trout Run. Prior to 1933, the Borough purchased land on Trout Run, about 12 miles northwest of the Borough, between the Kittatinny Mountain and Blue Mountain, to provide for another water source for the growing area. This dam had a capacity of about one (1) million gallons. In 1926 a dam was constructed at the Cleversburg water source. Before this purchase of the pump, a fire engine had to be used during periods of dry weather to make up for water shortages. In October of 1923, the Shippensburg Borough Council approved the purchase of a 250-gallon per minute pump to be installed at Indian Head Spring (Dykeman Spring) to pump water from the Spring to the In-Town Reservoirs. In the spring of 1922 the Borough started to chlorinate the water supply. Water was piped into these reservoirs from both Cleversburg and Stoney Point. Two (2) reservoirs were built on the hill above the current Scrafford Street (known now as the In-Town Reservoir). In April of 1886, the Shippensburg Borough Council established the position of Superintendent of Water Works and the first water rate schedule was established.īetween 18 a water source in Cleversburg was developed to supply the Borough with additional water. Along with the dam, a pipeline was constructed to bring water to the Borough. The capacity of the dam was around five (5) million gallons.

Land was purchased November 21, 1885, and construction of a dam began in December of 1885 and completed in1886. The site known as Stoney Point (on Furnace Creek) was found to have a spring of high-quality water. It is believed that wooden pipes connected these cisterns to each other. These cisterns provided a limited supply of water for the residents. The settlement within the outer enclosure and the Fort had a dug well to supply their needs.īetween the time of the Fort and development of the first dam, cisterns were used to provide a more reliable source of water for the Borough.

This was in 1740 when Governor Thomas sent a 20-man garrison to the Fort. The first recorded water supply was in the area known as Fort Morris, that later became known as Shippensburg.
