Snow Plowing
To ensure proper snow plowing methods are used, anyone who plows snow in the Borough is required to register with the Zoning office. There is no charge for this registration; it is simply so the Borough knows who to contact if there is a plowing violation at a particular location. To register, please download this form and submit to the Borough office. The proper plowing method is shown in this image.
