What is a "Dedicated" Development or Road?
When a development has been completed, the developer requests "dedication" of the development. At that time, the Township Engineer inspects the development for a variety of items which must be completed. If these items have all been successfully completed and the necessary legalities have been executed, the Township is then responsible for all maintenance to those roads within the development.
Does the Township spray insecticides to reduce mosquitoes?
Not at this time. If you have concerns regarding the West Nile Virus please visit the PA Department of Health's website www.westnile.state.pa.us.
