TOWNSHIP STORM UPDATE ON SHELTER, EXTRA COPS AND FIRE, AND MORE

From The Township: 

If needed, the Community Center in DeHart Park – 120 Burnett Avenue – will be open as a shelter. The police will determine if a shelter is necessary based on current conditions. The Center will also serve as a warming station if the need arises. Please call the police if you run into any problems – 973-762-1234.

The Fire and Police Departments have added additional personnel to the next shifts to handle any emergencies that might come up.

The Department of Public Works has 21 snow plows and 5 salt spreaders ready to go. The DPW will plow throughout the night and during the day on Saturday. There may be times when you do not see the plows to give the crews mandatory rest time.
All Recreation programming for Tuesday March 14th is cancelled/rescheduled. 


Snow removal:
a. When shoveling your property, do not throw snow into the street. If you do you will be fined.
b. Also, please do not cover fire hydrants with snow and if possible, clear the hydrant in front of your house.
