On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, welcome to the Neville Township website.
Neville Township is a Township of the first class, and a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Township’s mission is to provide for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, property owners, business community and visitors.
The Township is located on a island in the Ohio River, in close proximity to the City of Pittsburgh. Our topography is unique for Western Pennsylvania – flat with riverfront access. The eastern portion of the Island is home to heavy industry and a business community that takes advantage of our ideal access to the Ohio River, Interstate 79 and other road and rail transportation.
The western side of Neville Island is home to a proud residential community with homes overlooking the Ohio River and a small business community. The Island also hosts Robert Morris University Island Sports Center, Paradise Island Bowling Lanes, Neville Island Roller Staking Rink and three public parks.

2019 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
On Thursday, December 12, 2019, the Board of Commissioners approved the 2020 budgets for the General, Water and Sewer funds. Highlights include:
• No increase in the 2020 Real Estate Tax Rate – Rate is unchanged at 4.95 mills, including 0.0158 mills dedicated towards the Neville Island Fire Company.
• No increase in garbage rates for 2020.
• The 2020 water and sewer budgets do not include an increase in resident rates for the initial quarter; however, the Board has authorized a rate study and residents should anticipate an increase in the coming year. The Township adopted very tight water and sewer budgets, but expenses include a 28% increase in the cost to purchase treated drinking water from the West View Water Authority and ALCOSAN sewage treatment rates that have increase approximately 7% each year since the last Township rate increase in July 2015.
• The 2020 Budget includes capital funds for road paving and to match various grant applications to replace aging water lines and improve our parks.
The Neville Township Budget is the detailed plan of how our local government expects to spend funds in line with its objectives, needs and priorities. 2020 Budget amounts are based on anticipated revenues and proposed expenses for the coming year. These amounts are subject to change as more information becomes available throughout the year and expenditures may require additional action by the Board of Commissioners.
