PennDOT workers were in the ‘burbs the other day to put up a new sign for Hatboro. Wouldn’t you know, they put one up that said Hatfield Borough instead.
Hegele says confusing the two boroughs, which are about 15 miles apart, while funny, isn’t unusual. “I guess it gets confusing because the names are so close, and the boroughs are so close together,” Hegele said. “A lot of times we get calls for Hatfield Borough and even their mail gets sent here by mistake.”
Judy Emig, Hatboro’s tax collector, said she even gets tax bills for Hatfield residents from time to time. “Fortunately, I know a lot of the tax collectors (in Hatfield) so it’s more of an inconvenience than a problem,” Emig said.
Hatfield Borough officials did not return calls for comment.
Um. What would the Hatfield Borough officials have to say, anyway? I do really enjoy that last sentence, though.
