The dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony for the Lehigh Township Dog Park was held on August 28th. In spite of the showery weather, approximately 40 people and their pets of all sizes and breeds attended the ceremony. It was a great morning for everyone, especially the pets. The Dog Park fencing was graciously donated by Dr. Katherine Mack in loving memory of her late husband, Sherwood “Woody” Mack who had a love of all animals, especially dogs. Dr. Mack’s generosity will not only bring enjoyment to those who are using the park today, but also to future pet owners. In addition to Dr. Mack, the Lehigh Township Recreation Board would also like to thank David Hess for the donation of the concrete, Valarie Shoemaker for the rock garden and hand painted rocks honoring the pets of those donating to the park, Wes Shoemaker of K9 Innovations for the tips on introducing dogs to the park and the demonstration of using the agility equipment, and the Lehigh Township Maintenance Department for their work in getting the park ready. The generosity and time of all these individuals made this an enjoyable event. As funding becomes available additional items such as shade shelters and benches will be added to the park. Anyone wishing to donate to the park can contact the Township Offices. We look forward to watching the park grow for everyone to enjoy.

The fall leaf collection will begin Monday, November 1, 2021.

As many residents are aware, Lehigh Township participates with the First Regional Compost Authority for the disposal of yard waste. The Township's facility is located across the street from the Maintenance Garage. Residents, at their convenience, are permitted to bring brush, hedge clippings, and leaves to the facility. The material is then transported to the First Regional Compost Facility on Weaversville Road and processed into mulch and compost which is then returned to the Township and made available to the residents for their use.

As a reminder to residents, this facility is only for the disposal of yard waste--acceptable items to be dropped off at this site are brush, hedge clippings, and leaves. Recently, there have been instances where unacceptable material, such as rock and metal have been mixed in with the yard waste. This type of material causes a significant amount of damage to the equipment that is used at the facility, resulting in expensive repairs. These costly repairs will unfortunately be eventually be passed on to all the users of the facility.

Everyone needs to be mindful of what they are bringing to the site. Please make sure the material that is brought to the site is free of rocks and stones. The facility is not meant for disposal of household waste. Your cooperation is appreciated.

All residents, please be reminded that if you have an emergency that requires an immediate response from the Police, Fire or Ambulance, call 911 or 610-317-0808 not the police department office number (*610-760-8800). *The PD number is not staffed 24 hours.
