TOWNSHIP UPDATE REGARDING IMPENDING WINTER STORM
The next day or two could be pretty messy; therefore, we wanted to give you some important information from the Township's Road Crew, Police Department and Staff:
- The Township Municipal Building will be closed at 12:00 noon today, Thursday, February 3rd.
- WASTE MANAGEMENT will not be collecting trash/recycling for the Friday route until Saturday.
- Our crews cannot pretreat the roads as long as it is raining, and it doesn't take much ice to cause major issues.
- If possible, please stay at home when roads are slick. That not only keeps drivers safe, but it also allows our crews to remove the ice and snow more efficiently.
- Our public works crews plow approximately 100 miles of Township-owned roads as well as 20 miles of State-owned roads (through an agreement with PennDOT). Middle Road and Duncan Avenue are County owned and maintained. Route 8 is State-owned and maintained by them in the winter. It takes our crews three to five hours for one route (depending if all trucks are running and what type of winter event they are dealing with). Main roads are taken care of first followed by residential streets.
- Please help our snow and ice removal crews during winter snow events/emergencies by NOT PARKING on Township roadways.
- If it's snowing, our crews are out. Please do not call to find out when a particular street will be cleared - they will be there!
STAY SAFE!!!
