Valley Township was formed in 1852 by a decree of the court. It was composed of a considerable slice off the south end of West Caln and a small slice off the south end of West Brandywine. It is half its original size having been reduced in size by the incorporation of the Borough of Coatesville in 1867 and in 1868 by the creation of the Township of Caln.
While the data collection phase of the 2010 Census has wrapped up, the U.S. Census Bureau is now performing systematic quality checks of census takers' work. The phase of the operation includes visitations, phone interviews, and address verifications. During these quality checks, officials will verify the questions that appeared on the Census form either in person or by phone. Visitors and callers will not ask for personal information such as Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers. Your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated.
This year's Valley Day, held on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at the Westwood Fire Company, was a huge success with a record crowd in attendance. The day could not have been the success that it was without our volunteers and the kind generosity and support from the many sponsors and contributors. Please take a look at the Valley Day sponsors on the attached link and be sure to patronize these businesses.
Water/Sewer/Trash bills for the 2nd Quarter of 2010 were mailed on Tuesday, July 6. If you did not receive your bill, contact the Township Office at 610 384-5751.

A fee of $30 is assessed for a returned check.
Valley Township has awarded the contract to construct a new maintenance garage and salt shed to B & B Pole Buildings. Site for the new building will be the former "Stoltzfus Farm" property located at 1145 West Lincoln Highway. Completion is estimated for early 2011.
Pennsylvanian American Water Company (PAWC) has filed with the PUC a proposed rate increase. Four PUC hearings were well attended by residents who will be affected by this increase to voice their opposition to this proposed increase. Under the proposed new rates, the typical residential customer's wastewater bill would increase from $27.43 per month to $90.26.
Valley Township's EIT and LST collector is Central Tax Bureau (CENTAX). Our EIT is 0.5%. The other 0.5% that is withheld is for the Coatesville Area School District and this tax is collected by Berkheimer. Therefore, your employer should be deducting a total of 1% for earned income tax from your paycheck. Please check your paycheck stub to make sure you are only having 1% deducted. If you are having more than 1% taken out, your employer may mistakenly be deducting the City of Coatesville EIT rate, which is higher.
