Street Sweeping
 When: April through August
  Why: To collect cinders and debris from the roadway and to keep salt and cinders from entering the storm sewer system. Sweeping winter debris helps keep the waters of the Commonwealth clean. Township sweepers will sweep at the curb line first, then come back later and sweep leaf debris as the trees come into bloom.

Snow Removal

The Snow Removal Process:

  • The Road Services Department staff will begin salting and cindering operations when the depth of snow is two (2) inches or less.
  • At the accumulation of approximately four (4) inches or more, snow- plowing operations will begin.
  • After all roads are opened, crews will double back to widen the area.
    • Residential areas will be plowed curb to curb.
    • Rural areas will be plowed to the edge of road

Important Property Owner Information:

Owners, occupants, or tenants are required to remove all snow and ice from sidewalks within Twenty Four (24) hours after it ceases to fall. Snow and ice that cannot be removed without injury to the sidewalks shall be treated with salt, sand or other abrasive material. Snow should not be thrown into the streets but piled at the curb line where it will not impede clearing operations or traffic movement. Owners, occupants, or tenants found not to be in compliance to the above mentioned requirements could be subject to a fine and/or penalty. Snow & Ice Alert

Residents are urged not to shovel or blow snow onto or into the street. Depending on the weather condition, the snow shoveled or thrown on the street may not melt and dry and may turn to ice, thus causing a hazard. Note: During a significant snowfall, 15 inches or more, it may be difficult to push snow all the way back to the curb line, but the attempt will be made. This process may cause snow to fall onto the sidewalks.
