WINTER STORM INFORMATION:

A significant winter storm is currently predicted for this weekend, Saturday night through Sunday.  The Township is preparing based on the knowledge we currently have, which is obviously subject to change.

Please keep in mind the following:

  • There are 112 miles of roads in our Township which need to be plowed and salted. 
  • We prioritize main roads. Local roads within developments are the last roads to be plowed. 
  • PennDOT is usually short staffed, meaning the plowing of state roads may be significantly delayed. 
  • Please stay off all roads during snow events so our crews can safely do their jobs. 
  • Calling our office will not speed up the plowing process as our drivers each have a route that they follow. 
  • We cannot take special requests for plowing so please plan ahead if your travels are essential. 
  • Vehicles parked on the street will delay or prevent our ability to plow on your street or in front of your property. 
  • Please remember, there is nothing we can do to prevent plowing snow onto the end of your driveway after you have already shoveled; it is not intentional and there is no way to avoid it.
  • If you are in a cul-de-sac, please understand that we need to push the snow somewhere; cul-de-sacs are our most challenging to plow and result in the most complaints, although we have few options!

For MONDAY, our offices may be opening late, so please call ahead if you plan to visit us!  We will update this website with information on office hours and refuse collection as information becomes available.
