Exercise Caution When Open Burning

This is a reminder about exercising caution when Open Burning in Upper Salford Township.  We ask that you familiarize yourself with the Open Burning Ordinance which can be found by clicking on this link. Practicing common sense when burning prevents wildfires, severe injuries, and property damage. When and if there is a burn ban declared, the website and social media will be posted, as such. 

Mail Box Winter Maintenance

The U.S. Postal Service delivers more than 370 million pieces of mail each day, much of that arrives in a mailbox. USPS recommends inspecting, maintaining, and upgrading mailboxes to ensure important documents arrive and to help mail carriers deliver efficiently. Mailboxes need to be inspected to ensure they have not been damaged by wear and tear. According to USPS, some of the most common fixes include:

Tighten up: Check for and tighten any loose hinges on the door. Take care of any rusty or loose parts.

A fresh coat: Brighten up a rusty or peeling mailbox with a fresh coat of paint.

Stand securely: Make sure your mailbox post is secure and upright.

Be seen: Make sure your house numbers are clear, visible, and easy to read. Replace any missing or faded numbers.

Clear the way: Make sure the area around your mailbox is free of debris or insect pests.

Residents should report mailbox tampering or vandalism to the Postal Inspector at 1-877-876-2455.

2026 UPPER SALFORD TOWNSHIP NEWSLETTER

PUMPING RECEIPTS ARE DUE BY 12/31/2026
Only if you received a notification from the Township

There will be three (3) courtesy reminders sent out in March, July, & beginning of November, only if you are due to have your system pumped in 2026, and we do not have an updated receipt. Please note that we cannot break the reminders down by month!  Whenever you get your septic system pumped, please be sure to submit your receipt to our office! You may email a copy to uppersalfordtownship@gmail.com, mail a copy to 1441 Salford Station Road, Harleysville, PA 19438, or drop off a copy during normal office hours (M-F, 8am-4pm). Receipts will be due to our office prior to 12/31/2026 to avoid additional fines and penalties.  Please note that not all septic pumpers will send in your receipt to our office.  Remember, it is your responsibility, as the property owner, to make sure that we have an updated receipt on file. Septic pumping is due every 3 years, at a minimum, in accordance with the Upper Salford Township Code of Ordinances Chapter 18.  Thank you in advance for your attention to this very important matter!
***Pumping your system isn’t just about cleaning out the scum and sludge, but it is also a check by a professional to make sure everything is working with your system and that no roots are growing into your system!

PECO - Debris Disposal

PECO’s first priority in response to any storm is to restore electric service to customers as quickly and as safely as possible, and to keep electrical facilities safe. To achieve these goals, PECO clearance crews have specific duties which differ from customer obligations.

PECO Responsibility: Cutting, trimming or removing trees or branches from our equipment in an effort to restore service and ensure future reliability.

Customer Responsibility: The disposal of branches, logs or other debris associated with trees damaged by storms, ice, winds or other natural causes, as well as debris from unscheduled emergency work.

Please note, PECO cannot assist customers with the disposal of tree debris, as it would impede our crews’ ability to respond in a timely manner to other power outage situations and it could also create safety concerns. If you need assistance with tree debris removal, visit TCIA.org to find local tree service companies that are accredited by the Tree Care Industry Association. There may be a cost associated with this service.
