Public Works Advisory Committee Meeting Notes

The Towamencin Township Public Works Department strives at keeping township roads and parks safe and accessible. They perform a diverse range of duties throughout the township. They are responsible for maintaining 76 miles of roadway, 300 acres of open space, 9 parks, and the general maintenance of police vehicles, township vehicles, equipment and properties.

The Township periodically cleans out ditches, grades shoulders, and trims trees along the roadway in front of your home. All of the work is done within the township right-of-way. Please drive slowly and pay attention to the flagmen and signs when driving through work zones. The Public Works Department functions under the direct management of the Public Works Director, David Hillmantel.

2024 Concrete Replacement Projects (Ramps, Curbs, Sidewalk)

This year, the curb ramps scheduled for replacement will coincide with the roads scheduled for paving in 2025.  There are 41 ramp locations included as part of this project.   At the March 22nd meeting, the Board of Supervisors authorized advertising the bid release and specifications for this project with bids due May 3^rd.  The bid specifications included an add/alternate for the placement of two handicap ramps and the extension of sidewalk at the intersection of Rittenhouse Road and Old Forty Foot Road.  After the Township Engineer’s review of bid submissions and qualifications, on May 22nd, the Board of Supervisors awarded the contract for this project to Lawrence Site Contractors, of Gilbertsville.  A forthcoming work schedule will be released upon availability.  

Stormwater Maintenance

By practicing healthy household habits, homeowners can keep common pollutants like pesticides, pet waste, grass clippings, and automotive fluids off the ground and out of storm water. Adopt healthy household habits. For more information click here.

Sanitary Sewer

Property owners are responsible for the integrity of internal plumbing and lateral pipes on their property. Sewer lines can become blocked due to roots, grease buildup or debris in the pipes. When this occurs, wastewater flow is blocked and may backup towards the first possible outlet. Trees can also be a big problem for sanitary sewer lines.
