The City of Philippi is committed to being as aggressive as possible when it comes to securing grant funding for infrastructure projects. Like many communities across the country, we have aging infrastructure that needs to be repaired, replaced, and improved—and grant funding can help us accomplish these projects while keeping the burden on our utility customers as low as possible.

The City is currently working to apply for a Community Development Block Grant. In order to qualify, more than 50% of our sewer customers must fall below the applicable income limits. To determine whether we meet that requirement, we need our sewer customers to complete a simple income survey.

The survey takes one minute or less to complete. You will simply:

• Enter your account number
• Enter the number of people in your household
• Indicate whether your household income is above or below the specified threshold

That’s it!

We must receive a certain number of responses in order to qualify to apply for this grant. By taking just a minute to complete the survey, you can help the City pursue funding for needed infrastructure improvements and help us keep your utility costs as low as possible.

Please remember, this survey is only for customers who receive sewer service from the City of Philippi.

Thank you for taking a minute to help your City! If you have any questions, please call City Hall.

🌧️ Never attempt to drive through flooded roadways. Turn around, don’t drown!

Please stay safe and keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

‼️UPDATES WILL BE IN THE COMMENTS‼️

🌧️ Another day of rain that just won’t let up.

Please use extra caution when traveling. Heavy rainfall can quickly lead to pooling and standing water on roadways. Turn around, don’t drown! Never risk driving through flooded roads.

We are also experiencing electric outages in some areas due to fallen trees. Our crews are working to restore service while doing everything they can to stay safe in these difficult weather conditions.

Unfortunately, storms like these seem to be becoming more frequent and more severe across our entire area. Please look out for one another, stay weather-aware, and most importantly, stay safe. 💙

⚠️ Transfer Station Closure

The City of Philippi Transfer Station will be closed today due to an issue with the electronics on our scale. We believe the equipment was damaged or affected by the aggressive lightning during yesterday’s storms.

We are working with our scale vendor to have someone come out and inspect and repair the equipment as soon as possible.
