From Whitpain Township:

The Snow Emergency in the Township will end at 10 p.m. tonight.

Public Works crews are continuing final storm cleanup, which involves plowing curb-to-curb and salting all streets. Crews will monitor road conditions throughout the night. Winds will cause blowing and drifting and any water will quickly freeze. Please use caution when traveling.

During a snow emergency, parking is prohibited on all designated Snow Emergency routes and on all Township roadways where residents have access to off-street parking. This makes the Township’s plowing operation much more efficient and effective.

Winter Storm Tips

1. Please remove trash cans from roads. Plows must go around trash cans and other obstructions, which prevents curb-to-curb plowing.

2. Please wait until plows clear your street to shovel your driveway apron. This will help prevent your driveway from being plowed in.

3. As you shovel, please clear fire hydrants near your property and make sure your mailbox is accessible.

4. Please leave at least 100 feet between your car and snow plowing equipment.

5. To report a snow-related issue during a storm, please call 610-277-2400 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, please call 610-279-9033.

6. Call 911 to report an emergency during a storm.

7. To report a power outage, please call PECO at 1-800-841-4141. Do not assume that a neighbor has already called PECO. Please do not call Police to report power outages.Click here for the PECO Storm Center.
