A 4" water line has been struck by the Potomac Edison Power Company.  Customers within the Ledgelowe Development may lose water service.  The repair time is unknown.  Please call the Shepherdstown Water Department at 3 0 4 - 8 7 6 - 2 3 9 4 with any questions. We will provide updates as they are received.  Thank you.

Residents of Shepherdstown

 The recent weather has made it difficult to keep up with mowing of grass and trimming shrubs.  The Town is requesting that lawns and grass between sidewalks and curbs be mowed if necessary.  Shepherdstown makes every effort to put its best foot forward.  Please remember yard waste collection is on Wednesdays, at no charge.  Please take advantage of the service.  Also, thank you for your patience and kind comments during the construction projects in the Town.

Happy 4th of July,

Mayor Jim Auxer
