TOWNSHIP SNOW REMOVAL:

• The Public Works Department is on call 24 hours/day, 365 days/year
  
• It is the responsibility of the Public Works Director to determine when and if plow trucks should be called out after normal working hours. The determination is made in consultation with the Township Police Department. In general, accumulations of over 2 inches with additional snow predicted requires plowing.
  
• During severe snow situations where plowing is needed, the main Township roads have priority, which in some cases requires residential roadways to be designated secondary priority.
  
• All decisions to delay and/or cancel school must be made by school personnel. The Township and School District communicate regularly during snow situations.
  
• It is unlawful to shovel or plow snow back into the streets.
  
• When streets are plowed, snow will be pushed in front of driveways. Unfortunately, there is no other place for the snow to go.
  
• The Public Works Department is not permitted to assist residents by clearing driveways, sidewalks or paths to mailboxes.
  
• There may be delays or cancellations of garbage collection and recycling pickup as a result of snow accumulations. Please DO NOT CALL the Township during a snow emergency at ask about garbage collections. Until the snow situation is under control, it is impossible to say when garbage will be back on schedule.
  
• The parking of vehicles on the streets causes significant difficulty in plowing township roads. Residents should not park on the streets until all snow has been removed.
  
• The Township DOES NOT provide winter maintenance on several state roads within South Fayette Township. These include; Route 978, Boyce road, Mayview Road and Route 519 (Washington Pike). Any service related issues regarding these roads should be forwarded to the PennDot Regional office at 412-221-3622.
  
• Please keep fire hydrants clear of snow. They are for your Safety.
