Snow & Ice Removal Ordinance - Upper Salford
§21-301. THROWING OF SNOW ONTO ROADS UNLAWFUL It shall be unlawful to throw, shovel or plow snow into or upon any roads and streets within the Township from adjoining property.
§21-302. REMOVAL OF SNOW AND ICE A. The owner, occupant or tenant of any property fronting upon or alongside any of the streets in the Township shall remove or cause to be removed from the sidewalks in front of or alongside his or her property all snow and ice thereon fallen or formed, within 10 hours after such snow and ice have ceased to fall or form. However, snow or ice that has ceased to fall or form after 6:00 p.m. may be removed at any time before 11:00 a.m. of the next day. Responsibility for compliance with this section shall lie with the owner of property where such property is occupied by such owner or is unoccupied; with the tenant or occupier thereof where the property is a multiple-business or multifamily dwelling property occupied by more than one tenant or occupier. B. If such owner, occupant or tenant fails, neglects or refuses to comply with Subsection A hereof within the time limits prescribed therein, the Township may proceed immediately to clear all snow and/or ice from the sidewalk of such delinquent and to collect the expense thereof, with any additional amount allowed by law, from such owner, occupant or tenant, which may be in addition to any fine or penalty imposed under this chapter.
§21.303. PENALTIES Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this Part shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars plus cost and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed thirty (30) days. Each day a violation of this Part shall continue shall be deemed a separate offense.
Winter Storm Mailbox Damage
Mailboxes and their posts are the responsibility of the individual homeowner to maintain. During a storm, when roads are being plowed, snow or ice may hit mailboxes. Prior to a snowstorm, please make sure that your mailbox is firmly attached to your post and that the post is not rotted. We regret that while snow/ice thrown from the Township snow plows may have damaged your mailbox, it is unavoidable and therefore, the Township will not pay claims for mailboxes or posts that are damaged due to their inability to withstand the force of plowed snow. Homeowners will be responsible for the repair or replacement of their mailbox.

You may email a copy to uppersalfordtownship@gmail.com, mail a copy to PO Box 100 Salfordville PA 18958, or drop off a copy during normal office hours (M-F, 8am-4pm).
