Sidewalks: Properties with land with a paved sidewalk shall remove and clear away snow and/or ice within 12 hours after snow, sleet, or freezing rain has stopped. (§21-202.1.A.)
Depositing of Snow: Snow or ice cannot be deposited on a road, sidewalk or next to a fire hydrant or mailbox. (§21-203)
Parks: Walking trails and sidewalks owned and maintained by East Rockhill Township, are considered "Low Level Priority" for snow removal. This means that once ALL roadways in the Township are open and clear of snow and ice, the Public Works Department will then remove the snow from walking trails and sidewalks. The goal is to have the trails, parking lots and sidewalks open within three (3) business days of initial snow fall.
Mailbox Damage: The Township is not responsible for damage to mailboxes that occur during the normal operations of winter maintenance. Please ensure that your mailbox post is sturdy and placed appropriately. All mailboxes including community mailboxes are the property owners responsibility to remove snow for postal service access.
Driveway Entrance: The snow that is in front of a plow will unload as it passes a clear area. By clearing an area to the side of your driveway (to the left when standing in your driveway facing the street) where the plow will be traveling, will allow the snow to unload in the clearing instead of back into your driveway.
