Do not clear the end of your driveway
until the road has been plowed from
curb-to-curb. This will save you time
and frustration! If your street has not
been plowed curb-to-curb, it will be.
Please give us time to do our jobs. It is
not our intention to annoy you!
Do not shovel or plow the snow from
your driveway into the street. This can
cause accidents, and it is illegal to do
so. Any snow you put into the street
will only end up back in your or your
neighbor’s yard.

 

    If you have a stormwater inlet box close to your property, try to keep it open to prevent a backup and icing conditions on the street.

 

    Clear the snow around the fire hydrant
on your property. This could save
precious time if a fire emergency occurs.

    If you have a portable basketball hoop on the street - please remove it during the winter season. They should not be in the street ever, for any reason.

 

 

    Winter will soon be here again, and
following are the guidelines we are
asking each resident to follow to enable
our department to perform the arduous
task of clearing our streets after a
snowstorm as efficiently as possible:

 

    Parking is prohibited on any Township
street during a snowstorm and until
the street has been plowed for the full
width. This is required by Law, and
violators may have their vehicles towed
and be subject to a fine. This is critical
on narrow streets and cul-de-sacs when
maneuverability of the large plow trucks
is essential.

 

    Place trash cans and recycling containers curbside, NOT in the street, for any reason! Our trucks plow curb-to-curb, and your receptacles will be hit if in the street. The Township will not replace them.

    Routes 100, 113, North Ship Road, North Whitford Road, and Newcomen Rd. are all maintained by PENNDOT. To report conditions on those roads,

call 484-340-3200.

    Our first priority during inclement
weather is your safety. Your cooperation
is needed to enable us to do our job
properly. If you are aware of specific
weather-related problems, please report them to the Township during business hours (M-F 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) 610- 363-9450. Evenings and weekends call 610- 692-5100.
