Message from CRC 3/2/2026

On 2/28, CRC received reports of illicit discharge in the Goose Creek (Chester Creek) in West Goshen Township, West Chester Borough, and Westtown Township. The Department of Environmental Protection is investigating the issue. We are advising that all residents and their pets stay out of the waters of the Goose Creek until further notice.

Water runs everywhere.

Together, we can keep it clean.
