Haverford Twp - Winter Storm Warning

This is a message from Delco Alert

Hello, this message is from the Haverford Township Office of Emergency Management with important emergency information for our community.  Due to the most recent weather forecast and the high probability of extreme weather conditions, Haverford Township has declared a Snow Emergency effective Wednesday 02-08-2017 at 23:00:00 , as authorized by §175-58 Declaration of Emergency from the Haverford Township Codebook of Ordinances.  This declaration will assist in snow removal and the safe passage of emergency vehicles.  The Emergency Declaration will end Thursday 02-09-2017 at 18:00:00 .  All Township buildings, including the Municipal Administration, Skatium, CREC and Library will be closed. TRASH AND RECYCLING COLLECTIONS FOR THURSDAY ARE CANCELLED.  Thursday's recycling will be collected on Monday along with yard waste for the entire Township. Friday's trash and recycling will be picked up as normally scheduled.   

When a snow emergency is declared, it shall be unlawful, at any time during the continuance of the emergency, for any person, firm or corporation: 

  • To park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to remain parked anywhere on any Snow Emergency Route designated pursuant to this article; or 

  • To drive any vehicle on any such Snow Emergency route unless that vehicle is equipped with snow tires, chains, or other suitable tract devices; or 

  • To drive any vehicle which then becomes stuck on any snow emergency route during a snow emergency because of or related to the failure of that vehicle to be equipped with snow tires, chains, or other suitable traction devices. 

    In addition, please remember: 

  • Residents are responsible for clearing clear snow, sleet, and ice from the sidewalks in front of their property no more than 24 hours after a storm. 

  • Residents are also reminded that it is declared unlawful for any property owner, resident, contractor, agent or employee, to shovel, plow, discharge or otherwise place snow removed from private property into any street, roadway, sidewalk or alley within Haverford Township.  This ordinance is Strictly enforced! 

  • Trash receptacles may not be placed on the street. This inhibits the snow removal vehicles from doing their job. Residents should place trash cans either on the lawn or curb in front of their property. 

  • Residents should avoid parking in cul-de-sacs. If they must park in a cul-de-sac or they must leave their vehicle on or near a highway, they must notify the Police Department by calling 911. 

  • After the storm ends, it will take the Township approximately 8 to 12 hours to complete the clean up, assuming normal conditions.  

  • Residents are also reminded not to clear the end of their driveway until the storm has stopped and the road is plowed curb to curb.  This will save you work and lower your frustration level.  The Township's goal is to first open one lane of traffic in each direction or every road, then return to plow the snow back to the curb, exposing the storm inlets.  

 In accordance with the provisions of § 175-59, the highways or parts thereof to which the provisions of Article VIII, Snow and Ice Emergencies, shall be applicable as are described below.
