Lansdale Issues Warning About Snow Clearing, Fire Hydrants

LANSDALE, PA — Lansdale officials are warning residents about snow ordinances and basic safety precautions ahead of the major incoming winter storm.

Sidewalks must be cleared from in front of residential areas within 24 hours after snow stops falling.

"We would also like to remind residents and business owners that it is illegal to deposit snow removed from sidewalks or private property onto any Borough street," the borough added, noting the municipal ordinance that prohibits "the throwing or blowing of snow into the streets from sidewalk or properties."

Residents should also be sure to clear snow at least three feet in all directions around fire hydrants on your property, so emergency crews can access your home.

Violations of ordinances can result in fines.

Up to six inches of snow could hit the local area, with precipitation starting at around 4 a.m. and intensifying by later morning and early afternoon Friday.
