Snow Removal
Peters Township performs snow removal on 137 miles of
roads, 21 of those by contract with PennDOT. The Township
has a Council-endorsed policy that states from the time that
the Public Works Department is first notified of hazardous road
conditions, all roads within its jurisdiction will be treated with
salt within 3 hours. If snow plowing is required, the policy states
that all roads have been plowed at least once within 6 hours.
The Public Works Department’s vehicle inventory has 12 fully
equipped trucks plus 3 additional vehicles equipped only with
snowplows.
Snow Emergencies
When a significant snowfall occurs, it is sometimes necessary
for the Township to declare a snow emergency. During a snow
emergency, on-street parking is prohibited, and the police
department can issue tickets or even have vehicles towed
away. When a snow emergency is declared, it is broadcasted
on Peters Township Comcast Cable Channels 7 and 17 and
Verizon Channels 38 and 40. This information is also distributed
to the local media, posted on the Township website (www.
peterstownship.com), and shared on the Township’s social
media pages.
