Please Help Keep Storm Drains Clean

The Public Works Department is receiving many phone calls and email requests regarding drainage concerns after the significant rainstorms that have been taking place. 

 As previously mentioned, it is crucial to help the town with the basic procedures to make the water flow efficiently.  If you notice a storm drain obstructed by leaves or litter on your street, please remove the debris.

DPW cannot manage thousands of these types at once during a storm.  Also, many residents back up to township-owned land. 

Please be aware of your property lines and do not dump brush and grass clippings on the township property.  We have found instances where drainage easements were blocked, impeding the flow of stormwater.  

Residents can participate in our free Annual Clean-up program to remove any green debris they have.  Please see the DPW webpage on the Hillsborough Township website for more information.
