Note: The following information is from the snow removal ordinance posted on the Borough of Hellertown’s website.
- Property owners have 24 hours to remove snow and ice from the sidewalks around their properties from the time precipitation ceases to fall. In rare cases in which snow or ice is “frozen so hard that it cannot be removed without injury to the sidewalk or walkway,” the borough has the discretion to extend this timeline, however property owners must keep their walkways “strewn with ashes, sand, sawdust or other suitable material so as to be no longer dangerous.”
