Roberts Avenue Storm Sewer Project

The Township is aware of an existing storm sewer issue on Roberts Avenue. The Township is in the process of gathering information for a formal design. It is anticipated that work will be completed late Winter of 2025. Public Works has temporarily installed steel plates over effected areas in the roadway and will continue monitoring them until the project is completed. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we work to address this matter.
