TOWNSHIP OFFICES CLOSED Columbus Day – Oct. 12 Veterans Day – Nov. 11 Nov. 26-27 – Thanksgiving Holiday Dec. 25 – Christmas Jan. 1 – New Year’s Day www.eastpennsboro.net 2015-2016 Snow Removal Policy The Township has announced its snow removal policy for the winter months: TOWNSHIP ROADS The Highway Department will begin plowing the most heavily traveled roads first. Salting and cindering will be performed as needed. After the initial plowing, the plow will return to widen the path to provide an area to plow additional snow if another storm occurs before a melting period. Residents are asked to park their cars in their driveway, if at all possible. It is almost impossible for equipment operators to keep snow from being plowed in front of a driveway. This is not done deliberately. The Highway Department tries to clear all roads. Residents are also asked to move basketball backboards off streets. SNOW/ICE REMOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS Property owners are reminded that Township regulations require snow and ice to be cleaned from sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall ends. SNOW EMERGENCY ROUTES Residents are required to remove parked vehicles from streets and roads posted as snow emergency routes if a snow emergency is declared. Snow emergency announcements will be made over local television and radio. FIRE HYDRANTS Property owners are asked to clear around fire hydrants to ensure fire protection. Valuable time can be lost if firefighters have to clear snow from the hydrant area. House Numbers Must Be Visible East Pennsboro’s police, fire and ambulance services say they are concerned that house address numbers are not readily visible on a large number of the more than 8,000 homes in the Township. The lack of visible numbers, officials said, can cause delays during an emergency response. They ask that residents attach large numbers to the house. Numbers painted on curbs can be obscured. Township Police Accepting Unused Prescription Drugs The Township Police Department has installed a permanent Med-Return Drug Collection Unit in its first floor reception area at 98 S. Enola Dr. Residents can dispose of excess and expired prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications in the special container. Liquids, needles and aerosol cans are not accepted. Labels can be removed from the prescription containers. The collection area is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Drugs can be dropped off with no questions asked. The Department said disposing of excess drugs is everyone’s responsibility, citing the fact that 70 percent of young people abusing prescription pain relievers get them from the family medicine cabinet. Employment Information East Pennsboro Township is currently accepting applications for 2016 Seasonal Opportunities. We are seeking Camp Counselors for our Recreation Department as well as Park Maintenance crew members. There will also be summer internship opportunities available; please see the Administration Office for more information. Applications can be found on our website at www.eastpennsboro.net on the administration page and can be dropped off in Room 103. Township Web Address: www.eastpennsboro.net The Township has upgraded its web site, with a whole array of Township features. The site posts agendas and minutes of meetings, an application and permit section where residents can download forms for housing and community development, employment applications, recreation registrations, an events calendar and tax forms. Township officials said the aim is to make the site easy to use for all residents. EAST PENNSBORO TOWNSHIP 98 S.

Donations for the continued payment of the new unit are still being accepted. Checks can be made payable and mailed to East Pennsboro Twp. Fireman’s Relief Association, c/o EPFP, 230 N. Enola Dr., Enola 17025. The Fire Police will be sponsoring a craft fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 14 at 118 Chester Road, Enola. Township officials are reminding residents that Township regulations prohibit the discharge of any roof, ground or surface water into any sanitary sewer, directly or indirectly. The regulations also prohibit the connection of a pipe into a sewer line carrying excessively hot water, which may be detrimental to a sewer or to operation of the sewer system. When a basement floor drain is connected to the sanitary sewer system, there is a potential for a backup of raw sewage into the home if sewer lines become clogged. Any such connection of a drain to the sewer system violates regulations and must be disconnected. Water from sump pumps or rain gutters that goes into the sewer system causes increased flows to the wastewater treatment plant, especially during heavy storms. The water must be chemically treated, the same as raw sewage, resulting in an increase in the amount of chemicals used and ultimately an increase in cost. If you have questions, please call the Township engineer or the staff at the wastewater treatment plant, 732-3621 WHAT NOT TO FLUSH! Yard Waste Guidelines Township officials are reminding residents that many materials flushed or poured down a drain can harm the pipes that connected to the sewer system and cause sewer backups in your home and sewer releases to the environment. Basically, the only thing you should ever flush down a toilet is human waste and toilet paper. Keep the following out of the toilet: disposable diapers, tampons and tampon applicators, sanitary napkins, cotton balls and swabs, mini or maxi pads, condoms, cleaning wipes of any kinds, facial tissue, bandages and bandage wrappings, automotive fluids, paint, solvents, sealants and thinners and poisons and hazardous waste. Do not flush medications down the toilet. Take the medications to an approved prescription drug take-back site or event. Never pour grease in your sink drain and try to reduce the use of your garbage disposal. Grease in sewer pipes causes maintenance problems for property owners and the Township. Penn Waste, the Township’s trash/recyclables collector, will collect yard waste through October. The Township Yard Waste Facility on South Humer Street is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 7 to 10 a.m. the third Saturday, through October for residential drop-off items. It is closed November to March. Residents must show a valid driver’s license for proof of Township residency. The facility is for YARD WASTE ONLY. Please go to the County’s website, www.ccpa.net for disposal of household hazardous waste (paint, propane bottles, TVs, railroad ties). Yard waste includes tree trimmings, shrubbery and any other organic landscape vegetation, except grass clippings and tree stumps. Fruits and vegetables and dirt and stones will also not be collected. The yard waste should be placed in a biodegradable brown paper bag or be tied with twine in easy-to-handle bundles. Bundles may be no longer than four feet and not weigh more than 30 pounds each. Branches may not exceed six inches in diameter. An unlimited number of bags or bundles may be placed at the curb before 6 a.m. on the scheduled pick-up day. For more information, call Penn Waste at 1-866-575-8720, or e-mail it at www.pennwaste.com. Recycling…Calling All Cartons! Penn Waste, the Township’s waste and recycling carrier, is now collecting food cartons as part of its recycling program. Milk, orange juice, soup and broth and egg substitute cartons and juice boxes are now recyclable. Please remove caps and straws and rinse out the containers, if possible, before placing in the recycling bin. For more information on recycling go to pennwaste.com or call 767-4456. www.eastpennsboro.net 11 12 www.eastpennsboro.net We at the Clifford D.

Resident Input Sought On Ranking Township Priorities Township Commissioners are asking residents to participate in the updating of the Comprehensive Plan by taking a quick survey between Oct.14 and 28 on the Township website, www.eastpennsboro. net. Commissioners are seeking input on what residents believe are the top priorities for the Township’s future. Residents can rank the most important issues and opportunities that should be guided by the 10-year Comprehensive Plan. The list of issues an opportunities has been generated by residents, business owners and Township staff over recent weeks, with many of the ideas posted on the website. The Comprehensive Plan study team hosted a business roundtable in August and spoke with school officials in September. It also discussed the Township’s long-range future with youth organizations and the West Shore Ministerium. Survey results will be posted by Nov. 8. By the end of the year, the team will make available fact-finding reports on the priority issues and indicate how resident and business input will shape the approach to updating the Comprehensive Plan. www.eastpennsboro.net
