Hi all! You don't probably don't know me, but I've been the webmaster for Bolivar since 2010. 🙋‍♀️ As the town has shifted in a new direction with the site, they have decided to close out this page. If you would like to keep track of events, please go to the website (link below). I will no longer be webmaster, so please contact the Town Office if you have any questions (contact info is on website). Thanks for letting me be your source of Bolivar news for the last 15 years; I've enjoyed my time with you all! 😄

Welcome to our town! Welcome to Bolivar, where history, community, and natural beauty combine. Bolivar...

The paving restorative of the Harpers Ferry Water Works Distribution System Project has begun. The paving project is scheduled for the next 3 weeks and is weather dependent. The paving project will be done in two phases.

PHASE I: This phase is necessary to prepare the road for the final paving. During this time you will be able to drive on the road as normal, although we ask that you be mindful of the construction workers at this time.

PHASE II: This phase is to put down a finished layer of asphalt. During this time, cars and vehicles will need to be removed from the roadway while work is being completed. We anticipate driving being prohibited for up to twelve hours once this phase begins It is imperative that all vehicles be removed from the road during this phase. You will receive a Robo Call 48 hours in advance of work beginning. Other project restoration such as landscaping and concrete will be completed after paving restoration.
