==Services and facilities== Schuylkill Haven provides electric, water, sewer, and refuse services to citizens of the borough. The borough owns and operates its own power distribution grid. Maintenance of the grid is provided by the borough's own line crew. The borough purchases electricity from [[American Electric Power|AMP]] Ohio and Allegheny.<ref>{{cite web|title=Utilities|publisher=Schuylkill Haven, PA|url=http://www.schuylkillhaven.org/departments/utilities/index.php|access-date=November 27, 2019}}</ref> The Tumbling Run Reservoir, located approximately five miles (8 km) north of the borough, is the Schuylkill Haven's primary source of water. Storage tanks at Willow Lake at the northern edge of the borough are an additional part of the borough's water facilities. Schuylkill Haven owns a second watershed located in [[Wayne Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania|Wayne Township]] with a small portion extending into [[Branch Township, Pennsylvania|Branch Township]], known as the Panther Valley dam. This water supply is no longer used but the earthen dam still exists. Schuylkill Haven's sewage treatment plant is located at the southern edge of town, on the western side of St. Charles Street. Schuylkill Haven's borough hall was once located in the [[Schuylkill Haven station]] on Main Street. In July 2015, however, it was moved to 333 Centre Avenue on [[Pennsylvania Route 61|PA Route 61]]. Schuylkill Haven is served by its own police force. The Schuylkill Haven Police Department has eight officers, which provided service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with at least two officers typically on duty at all times. The police station and council chambers are headquartered on Parkway. Schuylkill Haven has a volunteer fire department. The borough has three fire stations: The Rainbow Hose Co. (Station 1) on Dock Street, the Schuylkill Hose Co. (Station 2) at Union and St. Peter Streets, and the Liberty Fire Co. (Station 4) at Columbia and St. James Streets. Friendship Fire Co. (Station 3) was in close proximity to Rainbow, and was discontinued in the 19th century.
