Tamaqua: Borough Manager Kevin Steigerwalt said snow removal will be performed on various streets in the borough during the winter season. Streets will be posted the day before snow removal is scheduled. Snow removal may begin anytime after 12:01 a.m. on the posted day, and start times will vary depending on work schedules and weather conditions. Steigerwalt stressed that residents must move their vehicles for snow removal. Vehicles that remain on the posted streets will be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense. Property owners must maintain a 3-foot-wide path on their sidewalks clear of snow and ice within 24 hours after a snowstorm ends. Residents may not throw snow, ice or other material onto the streets, Steigerwalt said, adding that vehicular traffic compacts snow into ice and causes a hazard. Snow should not be piled at intersections, near fire hydrants or on top of storm drains. Individuals plowing snow on the streets must remove any snow piles that they create. He warned that residents may be fined for throwing or piling snow onto the streets or for failure to clear their sidewalks. Questions should be directed to Tamaqua Borough Hall, 320 E. Broad St., during normal business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, or by calling 570-668-3444 or 570-668-0300.
