Hempfield Township Public Works

Hempfield Township Public Works has been diligently working through the spring and summer to improve the infrastructure of the Township. A number of in-house stormwater, catch basin, and paving projects were completed by the Department throughout the Township, including:

2023 Hot Mix Paving

This past Spring, the Board of Supervisors approved an ambitious paving program for 2023. Totaling over 2.5 million dollars, this project including paving the Fox Ridge, Borbonus Acres, Maplewood, and Sandworks Plans, as well as Walton Tea Room Road. In total, approximately 10 miles of roadway were repaved. Our Hot Mix program was complimented the sealcoating (“tar and chipping”) of approximately 11 miles of roadway.

Shady Lane Culvert

Replacement of an aging concrete stream culvert with a 48” concave pipe. The project included the replacement of a channelizing wall on the outlet side of the pipe and the repaving of the roadway. Estimated to cost over $100,000.00 if contracted, this project was completed in house more than half the cost.

Green Valley Road Dirt, Gravel, Low Volume Road (DGLVR) Project

A grant was secured through the Westmoreland County Conservation District’s Dirt, Gravel, and Low Volume Road Program as the main funding source for this project. Work consisted of the installation of four cross pipes to carry stormwater from the high side of Green Valley Road and outlet it just outside of the right-of-way. Large rock was placed at the outlet of each pipe to allow the water to slow down and drop sediment out of it prior to entering the nearby stream. A 200-foot section of roadway abutting the stream was also repaired and shielded to protect from future erosion. Through the DGLVR Program Public Works was able to address a long-standing stormwater issue effect our roadway while also improving the quality of the stream.

Fall And Winter Season

As we enter the Fall and Winter season, here are a few things from you to keep in mind:

Hempfield Public Works does not offer “in-house” pick up of hazardous waste, electronics, brush, or leaves. These services are provided at no cost by County Hauling. The schedule pick-up of electronics or hazardous waste please call (724)-9297694 and select extension 2. Yard Waste will be collected on your regular collection day along with your trash. Please bag all loose yard waste in biodegradable bags and cut and bundle any limbs or branches into bundles four feet long or less.

Please be mindful of posted snow emergency routes. These are areas where street parking is restricted from November to April.

Even if your road is not posted as a “snow emergency route” please avoid parking on the street if you can. A roadway clear of parked vehicles gives our drivers the room they need to plow and treat them.

Cul-de-Sacs are an especially difficult area to treat. Please allow our drivers as much room as possible by parking off-street.

If vehicles parked in the roadway create an obstruction, it may not be possible for our crews to fully clear the roadway.

When shoveling your driveway, do not throw snow into the street. Please shovel snow onto the curb or anther area of your property.

If possible, finish clearing your driveway entrance AFTER the final “widening” pass by the snow plow.

Throughout the winter and spring seasons, Hempfield Public Works will continue routine maintenance throughout the Township including catch basin repairs, pipe replacements, right-of-way maintenance, and roadway repair.
