Announcements:
The Greater Johnstown Authority and Westmont Borough recently approved the consolidation of the Borough’s sewer collection system with the GJWA’s sewer collection system. The residents will experience a shift from a quarterly bill sent by the Borough to a monthly charge as part of their GJWA bill. The process of moving from a quarterly bill will provide stable rates and consistent billing for all residents of the Borough. If you have any questions, please call the Greater Johnstown Water Authority at 814-533-4300.
Prior to 1889, The Village of Westmont was a small farming community. Following the Great Johnstown Flood of 1889, the Cambria Iron Company, the City of Johnstown’s major industry, planned the safer hilltop section as a suburban residential district and built the Inclined Plane for direct access to the City. The Borough of Westmont was created by Decree of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Cambria County, from parts of Upper Yoder Township and Lower Yoder Township, on June 13, 1892.
