Hatfield Township Snow Removal Procedures
Posted: 2:00PM January 21, 2011

Help us help you when snow hits the area. To help the public works department keep roads safe and clear of snow, take these simple but important steps:

• Remove your vehicle from the road during a snow emergency, which is declared if there is over two inches of snow on the ground.  Your vehicle may be towed if it is parked in the street.
• Shovel snow from your driveway or sidewalk onto your front yard, not the street.
• Shovel your sidewalk within 18 hours after the last snowflake falls. If you can’t cut through the actual sidewalk, a two-foot wide path on the adjacent grass is permissible.
• Pile snow to the right of your driveway when you shovel.
• Align your mailbox face with the back of the curb to avoid contact with the snowplows.
• Remove trash and recycling receptacles, basketball nets, and all other items from the roadway to avoid damages.
