Spring Stormwater Management

Spring weather means rain!   In addition to making our lawns green and flowers bloom, the rain can cause leaves, grass, and other debris to clog storm drains.  The Township road crew consists of 3 people, who monitor and maintain over 950 storm drains and nearly 200 outfalls and retention basins in the Township. While they do their best to keep storm drains free of debris, you can help by avoiding blowing leaves or grass clippings into the streets. In addition, if you have a storm drain adjacent to your property, please consider “adopting” this drain and keeping it clear to help with stormwater management in your neighborhood.

For additional information, please visit our Stormwater Management page.

Know What’s Below – Call 8-1-1 Before You Dig

If you are planning to dig on your property for any reason, such as building a deck, installing a mailbox post, installing a fence, planting a tree, or grinding a stump, call 8-1-1 before you dig.  It’s the law!  There is no fee to property owners for this service.

The American Public Works Association provides a uniform color code system for marking underground utilities. The color of the flag or paint indicates the type of utility.  Public utility companies such as AQUA, PECO, Comcast, and Verizon who have facilities in a potential dig site are required by law to mark the location of underground utilities, usually within 2-3 days of your request.
