Things to Know Before the Snow
In preparation for snowstorms this season, residents are asked to please remove all vehicles from the public right-of-way to allow for safe and efficient salting and plowing. Wherever possible, cars should be removed from all cul-de-sacs and roadways and placed in driveways.
Please remove all basketball nets and other objects from the streets to help our highway crew keep Bethel Township clean and safe during the winter season.
