Winter Storms

Snow & Ice Removal Tips

​​During any snow or ice storm, the Road Department requests that all vehicles refrain from parking on the roadway. In this way, we can most effectively perform our task for you.

​This is especially true during a township-defined snow emergency, generally when 2+ inches of snow have accumulated on the pavement. When a snow emergency exists, please remove your vehicle from the street. This aids us in our snowplowing efforts in several ways. It helps us do a better job and prevents your vehicle from being “plowed in” by the snow that rolls off the edge of the plow as it goes down your street.

​Generally, less than two inches of snowfall are removed by melting with de-icing salt. It takes approximately three hours to treat all successfully maintained streets in the Township once with de-icing salt. Snowfalls of more than two inches must be plowed and salted to remove the snow. This process can take up to five hours, depending on the conditions, and usually, a minimum of two separate passes are needed. Please be patient with this process; we will get to all Township streets.

Helpful Tips to Aid in Snow Removal Operations

​Please do not throw snow from your driveway into the street. This is very hazardous, as well as illegal. Please put the snow back into your yard or in the grass portion of the right-of-way.

Please have all trees adequately trimmed and portable basketball hoops moved back from the street edge to ensure our trucks are not damaged. We need to get as close to the edge of the road as possible to clear the roadway adequately.

​While the road crew is trying to clear the roads and may not have time to answer the phone, leave a message for the Superintendent if the Road Department phone still needs to be answered. It will be returned as soon as possible.

​A tip for residents would be to wait until after the plow has cleared your street to shovel your driveway, this way you are only shoveling your driveway apron once.

​​Parking in cul-de-sacs hinders the plowing process for our drivers.

​Stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary.

Stay away from a salt truck; it is challenging for the driver to see someone following too closely behind. Allow a minimum of 100 feet behind the truck. You never know when a driver must stop and back up for any reason.

​Advise your children that it is very difficult for a driver to see them playing in or near the roadways while plowing and that our drivers may change direction at any time.

​County-Wide Emergency Levels

​LEVEL ONE emergency means road conditions are a cause for concern, and motorists should be cautious.

​LEVEL TWO emergency means that hazardous conditions exist, and motorists should only drive when necessary. Unlike a level three emergency, however, no citations are issued to motorists for using the roads.

​LEVEL THREE emergency means all streets are closed to non-emergency personnel. Non-emergency drivers may be subject to a citation. Vehicles abandoned on county or township roadways will be removed from the path of snowplows at the owner’s expense.

The Road Department appreciates your patience & understanding during all snow emergencies.
