The Public Works Department is responsible for snow and ice control for 41 miles of Township roads. Additionally, the Department is under contract for snow and ice control for 18.81 miles of State roads and 2.85 miles of county roads.
When snow or ice is forecast, the Public Works Department activates its Comprehensive Snow Plan. Exactly what measures are taken during the weather event depends on the amount of precipitation involved, what precipitation is predicted to fall, the temperature, and the expected duration of the storm.
Both snow plowing and salt-spreading operations help control winter road hazards. The effectiveness of salt depends on traffic volume, pavement type (concrete or asphalt), shaded areas and temperature. Salt is less effective when the temperature dips below 25 degrees (F) and may have no effect at all in very cold temperatures. At these lower temperatures, liquid calcium chloride is sprayed on the rock salt allowing it to be more effective.
Not all roads within the Township are maintained for snow and ice control by the Public Works Department. Questions about roads not maintained by the Township should be directed to the agencies responsible:
