Snow Removal Within the Township
Local residents should be aware of the following Ordinances regarding snow removal and overnight parking within the Township. Violations of either of these local ordinances may result in a summons being issued and may require an appearance in Municipal Court.

Parking is prohibited on all streets in the Township between the hours of 12 Midnight through 6 A.M. from November 15th - April 15th. Exceptions may be made if Police Headquarters is contacted but this cannot not be guaranteed if inclement weather is predicted.
Parking is PROHIBITED on all streets whenever snow removal operations are underway.
Snow removal along sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner and must be completed within 12 hours of the completion of snowfall.
