My mailbox was hit during a recent snow storm, what is going to be done about it?
Please see Section 163-28 (Code of Ordinances), Placement of mailboxes; liability for damage.

A Township plow or vehicle hit my garbage can, who's going to clean up the garbage?
It is the responsibility of the homeowner to clean up the garbage. All garbage and recycling cans are to be placed behind the resident's mailbox off of the paved roadway. The farther away they are the better chance that the snow from a plow won't hit it. At no time throughout the year should garbage or cans of any kind be placed on the roadway.

Who do I call if there is a problem on a Township Road?
Please call Lehigh Township at 610-767-6771, Extension 119 for the Road Department. When leaving a message, please provide your name, phone number, address and nature of problem.
