1. Can I install a drain or inlet in the street in front of my home?

No. If you have a storm water or drainage concern contact the Public Works Department. A department representative will perform a site visit. In many cases, there are other factors that are contributing to a storm water problem that is not resolved by a drain or inlet.

2. What can I do with runoff from my neighbor’s downspouts that are affecting my property?

On-site drainage between two property owners is generally a civil issue that cannot be addressed by the Township.

3. Can the Public Works Department clean a stream that crosses my property?

Maintenance of a stream or waterway is a property owner's responsibility. The Public Works Department is only responsible for stream cross pipes that convey water under a public street.

4. I have water coming through the walls of my home into my basement during heavy rain storms. Can the Public Works Department help me with this problem?

The Public Works Department cannot control ground water and is not permitted to work on private property or structures.
