Knox Borough is located in Clarion County and known as the “Horsethief Capital of the World”. Horsethief Days is a festival that happens in the Borough of Knox, in Western Pennsylvania. It happens the week before school goes back into session. (last week in August) During Horsethief Days there are so many activities you can do. For instance, softball tourney, live music from Tuesday to Saturday from local bands, Legendary TRACTOR RACES, kiddie parade, sidewalk sales, Nickelodeon night, bike races, tractor pulls from lawn tractor, mini rod, antique tractors, and eventually the Horsethief Parade on the last day of the festival. A spectacular fire works show following a soccer match at the High School. The activities are fun and very interesting.
Knox Borough maintains its own Water System and a new Sewer Treatment Plant completed in 2017 to compliment our total Sewer line replacement done over the last 4 years. Knox Borough has a Police Force, Knox Volunteer Fire Company, Knox Ambulance Company, Keystone Elementary-High School, and Knox Public Library. The town has many Organizations and Clubs serving the area. This quiet little Borough has a lot to offer someone moving into this area.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! AFTER TODAYS LOW PRESSURE AND CONNECTION FIX DEP HAS PUT THOSE ON THE KNOX BOROUGH WATER SYSTEM ON A “BOIL WATER ADVISORY”!!!! A PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) boil water advisory is a public notice issued when water systems lose pressure, suffer infrastructure failure, or contain suspected/confirmed microbial contaminants. It advises residents to bring water to a rolling boil for 1 minute before using it to prevent illness. Consumption: Drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, and preparing baby formula. Food Prep: Washing fruits and vegetables and cooking. Hygiene: Washing dishes by hand (not recommended in dishwashers) and brushing teeth. Pets: Giving water to pets. Safety: Washing wounds; if showering, ensure water is not swallowed, particularly for young children. Synonyms/Related Notifications: While a “Boil Water Advisory” is preventative Duration: Advisories often last for several days. The PA DEP requires two consecutive “clean” laboratory samples taken 12 hours apart before a BWA is lifted. Exceptions: Typically, you can still use water for showering, bathing, and laundry, provided it is not swallowed. Filtering: Home filtering devices (like faucet-mounted filters) should not be used in place of boiling, as they often cannot remove bacteria. We are hoping to get the test done and get the Advisory taken off as soon as possible!
