Fall Stormwater Management

Fall is the best time to plant most trees and shrubs, which reduce stormwater runoff.  Fall is also the time to deal with leaves, which often make their way into the street.  Consider composting your leaves, and you will be rewarded with wonderful compost for your garden in the spring!

The Township road crew 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.  Clogged stormwater inlets can cause erosion and lead to costly repairs.

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.
