West Whiteland Township serves Exton and part of West Chester, in the center of Chester County, PA.
West Whiteland Township is governed by an elected, three member Board of Supervisors. Together, the elected officials, staff, and volunteers provide the community with local government services that prioritize safety, sustainability and quality of life.
West Whiteland Township is collecting new, unwrapped toys for Chester County's Toys for Tots now until December 6. You can drop of toys at the Township Building during business hours Monday - Friday 8AM-5PM. The collection box will also be out at our Holiday Craft Fair on Saturday, November 11 and at our Tree Lighting on Wednesday, December 6.
Below is what was collected last year - this year we hope to donate even more!
Free COVID-19 tests (4 per household) are again available at COVIDTests.gov. These tests will detect the currently circulating COVID-19 variants. Consider using the tests to prepare for travel and gatherings during the holiday season.
The Phillies are going back to the playoffs! These photos are from the Little League's Opening Day at Roscioli Park in 1982 - the Phillies 100th Season. Luckily for us, the Phanatic's looks have improved over the years! Let's go Phils!
Do you have any photos from this day? We would love to see them! Comment below or email us at [email protected]
Miller Park's Restroom is currently closed for repairs. We apologize for this inconvenience.
With the periods of heavy rain and wind forecast for this weekend, much of the region is being warned about standing water and debris on roadways. Please remember “Safety First” when heading out in your car.
• Never drive through standing water. If you cannot see the road, TURN AROUND and take a different route.
• If you see a road barricade, it has been placed there for your safety. Emergency response personnel place road blocks when, in their PROFESSIONAL opinion, roads are undrivable. Never try to move or drive around a barricade. TURN AROUND and find a different route.
Public works crews are out around the Township clearing the storm inlets, especially in areas where flooding is most likely. If you see a storm inlet that is clogged, you can help:
• Call 484-875-6020 to report a clogged storm inlet on a West Whiteland Township road. (For state roads such as Ship, Boot, Grove, King and others, call PennDOT at 484-340-3200, then 1 at the prompts).
• If you are able, push the debris to the side so it is not covering the storm drain. This is helpful for your neighborhood storm drains and can be a simple way to reduce the risk of flooding on your street.
High winds complicate matters, as debris will blow back over the inlets and can cause branches or even full trees to fall onto the roadways. During exceptionally windy and rainy periods, please consider your personal safety before heading out.
The sinkhole on Clover Mill Rd. has been repaired and the road has now been reopened to travelers.
A huge thank you to all of the law enforcement personnel who helped to apprehend Danelo Cavalcante earlier today. Staff went out to show their support for the local, state and federal agencies that were safely transporting him to the State Barracks..

Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
Do not walk or drive through flood waters. Vehicles can get swept away by as little as twelve inches of moving water– when in doubt, “Turn around, don’t drown!”
Never drive around the barriers blocking a flooded road. You do not know the depth of the water or the condition of the ground under the water. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away most cars and just 2 feet of rushing water can carry away SUVs and trucks. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters.
Starting today, July 18, a portion of Clover Mill Rd. will be closed for sinkhole repair. There will be a short detour on Jeffers Circle. Please contact the Dept. of Public Works at 484-875-6020 with questions.
Community Day is finally here! Starting at 4PM, there will be activities for all ages, a live band at 6:30PM and fireworks to top off the night!
We will only be sending out notifications if the event is postponed, so if there is a chance of rain but no post - the event is going on as scheduled.
In preparation for Community Day on Saturday, the main Exton Park parking lot at 132 Church Farm Lane will be CLOSED on SATURDAY. On Saturday, please park at one of the nearby trailheads at the West Whiteland Township building or Battle of the Clouds Park.
We hope to see you at Exton Park Community Day, starting at 4 pm!
The Chester Valley Trail is currently 18.6 miles in length with 13.5 miles open for use in Chester County and 5.1 miles open to the east in Montgomery County. Maintenance and operation east of County Line Road should be directed to Montgomery County Parks, Trails, and Historic Sites

Due to the storms last week, we know a lot of residents have additional yard debris. This Saturday, July 8, we will provide a drop-off dumpster at 222 N. Pottstown Pike, Exton, from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. The dumpster will be between the Township garage and Green Drop.
Staff will be monitoring the dumpster to ensure only yard debris is discarded there, and that it is being used only by Township residents. If you have questions, please email [email protected] during normal business hours.
For our Pay-As-You-Throw households, curbside trash and recycling will be collected on WEDNESDAY this week, due to the July 4th holiday. Please have all items at the curb by 6 a.m. on Wednesday, July 5.
We know many homes have collected a lot of extra yard debris from the storms last week. We are working with Blosenski to see if it will be possible to schedule an additional curbside pick-up for July. We hope to have more information on that by the end of the week and will keep you posted.
All - please enjoy a safe and happy 4th of July!
We are two weeks away from Community Day! Check out our line up for Exton's biggest FREE event of the year!
Good morning, West Whiteland! The overnight storms left us with trees and power lines down as well as many road closures. Some of the areas affected include:
Road closures - S. Whitford Road from Lincoln to Spackman Lane
Burgoyne Road
Clover Mill Road to the Township line
Most of Meadowbrook Manor and the Crest
Segments of Burke Road
Other roads here and there
Township crews – Public Works, Fire and Police – are working round the clock to clear the roads. They are working with PennDOT and PECO to ensure everyone’s safety. Please be patient as downed power lines MUST be removed first prior to the trees blocking roadways.
For downed power lines, please assume the power line is energized and dangerous. Even lines that are de-energized may become energized at any time. Call 9-1-1 to report a downed power line. Do not try to move it yourself. PECO technicians will be on their way.
If you are without power, please make sure that you have reported the outage to PECO by calling 1-800-841-4141.
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us.
