History of the MBA

The Mountville Water Authority was created in 1951 by the borough council. The purpose of this authority was to affect the purchase of Lake Grub and the necessary systems to connect Mountville to this water supply. This acquisition gave Mountville an additional 30,000,000 gallons of freshwater.  The Mountville authority managed the water system until 1998 when Columbia Water purchased the rights to supply Mountville with its water service.

The Borough Authority became active again in 2002 when the Hempfield school district offered the sale of the old Mountville elementary school to the Borough of Mountville for payment of one 1901 silver dollar and one 2001 silver dollar. The Mountville Authority now is the owner and manages The Mountville Area Community Center (MACC)  At this time, the building is the home for Lancaster Public Lbrary West, Mountville branch; the Dayspring Christian Academy, and the Susquehanna Dance Center.  The gym and auditorium host many community events throughout the year.  

The property manager for the Mountville Area Community Center is John Hess and he can be reached at 717-285-4873 for any questions about rental or space needs.
