Due to forecasted weather conditions, Springfield Township has declared a SNOW EMERGENCY starting at 12AM on February 22, 2026 in effect until further notice.
Residents are required to move their vehicles off of the street, or in accordance to the guidelines below if off-street parking is unavailable. Residents should also avoid traveling Sunday and Monday due to dangerous winter road conditions unless absolutely necessary. If travel is unavoidable, please remember to shovel out a space to the right of your driveway as doing so allows the snow that builds up on the front of our plows to fall off in that space and not in your driveway!
Library Closed on Sun, Feb 22
Due to the forecasted winter weather and anticipated snow totals, the Free Library of Springfield Township will be CLOSED on Sunday, February 22. Stay tuned for updates regarding Monday closures for both the Library and Administration Building.
Parking Restrictions
During a winter weather advisory or snow emergency, all vehicles must be removed from streets and roadways whenever possible. Residents with access to garages, driveways, or other off-street parking are required to use them.
Residents without off-street parking may park on the street only on the EVEN-numbered side of the street, as 2026 is an even-numbered year. Where permanent parking restrictions exist, those restrictions will remain in effect. Residents are encouraged to assist neighbors who lack off-street parking by offering driveway space when possible to help crews clear streets more effectively.
Residents should also remove any curb-line or on-street basketball nets, as they obstruct snow removal and should never be placed in the roadway.
Monday Refuse/Recycle Collection Postponed
Trash and recycle collection for Monday, February 23rd will be cancelled and postponed to the following business day. Both Monday and Tuesday trash collection routes will have trash collection on Tuesday, February 24th. Please refrain from placing trash and recycle cans in the street or at the curb until Monday evening, after the snowfall has ended.
For snow removal guidelines, information on plow operations, and the Student Snow Shovel Registry, please visit the Township web page below. Overall, residents are encouraged to STAY HOME and stay off the roads to allow plows and emergency vehicles safe access to the roadway.
Power Outages
Residents that experience a power outage should call PECO at 1-800-841-4141. Do not assume that a neighbor has already reported an outage in your area. PECO prioritizes residential restoration efforts based upon the number of outages in a neighborhood. Please refrain from calling the Township to ask for the status of power restoration as we do not have access to that information. Residents can download the PECO power outage app for a more up-to-date status of power outages.
