Tamaqua Snow Removal

Snow removal may be done on various streets in Tamaqua during the winter season. Streets will be posted the day before snow removal is scheduled, and starting times will vary depending on work schedules and weather conditions.

Residents are reminded that they must move their vehicles for snow removal. Vehicles that remain on the posted streets will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.

Snow removal schedules will be posted on the borough’s Facebook page and website at www.tamaquaborough.com.

Tamaqua property owners must maintain a three-foot-wide path on their sidewalks that is clear of all snow and ice. Snow and ice must be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours after a storm ends. Property owners who fail to clean their sidewalks may be subject to a $25 fine for the first offense and higher fines for subsequent offenses.

Residents are reminded not to throw snow, ice or other materials on the streets. Vehicle traffic compacts the snow causing slippery conditions.

Snow should not be piled at intersections, near fire hydrants or on storm drains. Residents are encouraged to clear snow from around fire hydrants and storm drains. Residents may be fined for throwing snow on the street.

Any questions may be directed to the Tamaqua Municipal Building, 320 E. Broad St. weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or call 570-668-3444 or 570-668-0300.
