Today, West Norriton has a nice balance between residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational areas. It should be noted that while West Norriton has its own identity, it is considered by many to be an important part of the Greater Norristown community. Identifiable portions of the township include Jeffersonville, Trooper, and Port Indian. The township is serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A full-time police force serves the township.
Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies.
Residential trash disposal is arranged by private contractors. A full-time recreation director oversees various programs. Facilities include two small playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, athletic fields and fitness trail. Some of these are located on Norristown School District property. Little League programs are run by the township.
