The Cranberry Twp. Volunteer Fire Company urges everyone to change smoke alarm batteries regularly. An easy way to remember is to change the batteries when changing clocks in the spring and fall. Replace old batteries with fresh, high-quality batteries to keep your smoke alarms ready to protect you all year long. Then, test each alarm.
Turn your clock ahead by one hour before going to bed on Saturday evening, March 13 and you’ll be in-sync with Daylight Savings Time.
A single-session class about installing and operating household rain barrels will be held on Tuesday, March 23 beginning at 7:00 PM in the Cranberry Township Municipal Center. The class, which carries a registration fee of $30, includes a rain barrel which each participant is invited to take home and install. The selling price for a rain barrel is normally around $100. However funds collected by Haine Middle School students in Cranberry and Seven Fields are subsidizing their distribution to everyone enrolled in the class. Registration is limited to residents of those two communities, and is capped at 30 participants.

As an historically homogeneous community, that question was seldom asked – until recently. But the arrival of Westinghouse Electric Company in Cranberry Woods, and the global trade that its business represents, underscore the importance of making the Township more welcoming and accessible to visitors and new residents from other countries. To find out what its new residents are experiencing and how the Township can do a better job of serving them, a one-time focus group for new arrivals to the Cranberry area will be held on Monday evening, March 29, from 6:30 to 8:00 in the Cranberry Public Library meeting room. The group will focus on improving the experience of new arrivals from outside the United States. Already, the Township has taken steps to make the Cranberry experience more comfortable by preparing translations of many Township communications into languages other than English. But local officials want to make sure that the overall experience of new arrivals is a positive one and they are eager to learn about their early experiences in the Township. All new residents to Cranberry are invited to participate; those arriving from overseas locations are particularly welcome, and light refreshments will be served. Call 724-776-4806 x 1020 to let the Township staff know you’re coming, to share your thoughts, and to help improve Cranberry customer service.
You don’t need to be a public official to own your own retired police car or other municipal vehicle. Cranberry Township has joined a web-based auction service, Municibid.com, which was created specifically for units of government to use in selling their vehicles, equipment, furniture or any other items no longer needed. Its auctions work a lot like they do on eBay, although only government entities can sell items, but bidding is open to the public. Cranberry is currently offering a Massey Ferguson tractor, several Jeeps, a GMC truck, a Ford Crown Victoria with a Police Interceptor package, as well as lots of specialized attachments. To register and find out more about what’s available, visit the Municibid website
