Snow Conditions and Removal

The Township operates snowplows to remove snow from public roadways in the winter. All roads are also patrolled by our Public Works department, which assesses the safety of Township roads.

In the event that the roads are deemed unsafe for travel, they will be closed until the conditions are clear. Tune into your local radio station for road closures due to poor road conditions.
