Thank you PD for sharing the message to our township residents!

Now that the snow has softened, for a short period of time, clear your fire hydrants/sidewalks according to township ordinance.

330-38 Responsibility of Owner or Tenant:

The owner or owners, tenant or tenants of lands abutting the public highways, streets and avenues in the Township of Montville shall remove all snow and ice from the abutting sidewalks and fire hydrants of such highways, streets and avenues within 24 hours after the same shall fall or be formed or accumulate thereon. This article shall be deemed to have been complied with when the sidewalk has been cleared to bare pavement to a width of 30 inches for its entire length. Any patches or minimum accumulation of snow which remains after clearing and which will not inhibit pedestrian traffic shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this article. In the event that additional snow shall fall after initial removal or is deposited upon a clear sidewalk or hydrants by plowing, then an additional twenty-four-hour period shall be granted within which to clear this additional accumulation. In the event of ice which may be so frozen as to make removal impracticable, the owner or tenant shall cause the same to be thoroughly covered with sand, ashes, salt, sawdust or some other nonslippery or adhesive substance so as to make the same safely passable.
