Under Section 157-33 of the Haverford Township Code, it is unlawful for any property owner, resident, contractor, agent or employee to shovel, plow, discharge or otherwise place snow removed from a private property into any street, roadway, sidewalk or alley within Haverford Township. Property owners are responsible for clearing snow, sleet and ice from the sidewalks in front of their property within 24 hours after a storm and must at all times keep said sidewalks free and clear of snow, slush and ice. The primary function of the Public Works crews is plowing and the Township’s goal is to first open one lane of traffic in each direction on every road, then return and plow the snow back to the curb, exposing the storm inlets. When a winter storm is predicted to include a measurable amount of snow, the Township will treat the storm as a plowing event. Since the snow removal process is time-consuming and expensive, the Township utilizes brine and other materials to pre-treat roadways before storms and quickly works to clear roads of snow and ice once a storm begins. Throughout winter storms, crews are out before, during and after snow begins to fall to pretreat, clear and spread materials.

The Public Works Department is responsible for clearing approximately 166 miles of roadways in the Township during winter storms.
