s another busy summer season comes to a close, Hempfield Township is already looking ahead.

While residents continue to enjoy Township parks, roadways, services, public safety programs, and community events, much of the work that shapes the future of our community is already underway behind the scenes.

At the same time, work continues across every department to move current initiatives forward. Community Development is supporting continued investment throughout Hempfield Township as new businesses open along the Route 30 corridor, construction progresses on the Hempfield Area High School redevelopment project, and the West Point/Wendover Traffic Study advances toward recommendations designed to improve pedestrian and traffic safety. These projects represent long-term investments that will benefit residents, businesses, and visitors for years to come.

Fall is an important planning season in local government. It is the time of year when Township staff begins developing the annual budget, reviewing capital improvement needs, evaluating service demands, and identifying the priorities that will guide the year ahead. These As the seasons begin to change, Township efforts may not always be visible, departments also begin preparing but they are essential to for winter operations.

In addition to these capital projects, the department has expanded its impact through a wide range of programs and events that promote health, wellness, and community connection. These efforts reflect the essential role parks and recreation play in creating vibrant, active communities and improving quality of life for residents of all ages.

Looking ahead, the department is excited to continue this momentum with the start of construction on Founders Park Phase II and the introduction of a mobile recreation unit to expand access to programs throughout the Township.

We also look forward to welcoming residents to the Hempfield Township Athletic Complex and to upcoming fall and winter programs, including Fall Family Night and Light Up the Park.

The stories featured throughout this edition of Headlining Hempfield provide a closer look at many of these efforts. Still, they represent only a portion of the work taking place each day across Township government.

Whether planning for future projects, maintaining essential infrastructure, supporting economic development, providing public safety services, or creating opportunities for community engagement, Hempfield Township remains committed to responsible stewardship and delivering the highquality services our residents deserve.

HEMPFIELD IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS: WELCOME TO OUR NEW BUSINESSES

2026 has been an exciting year for growth and investment in Hempfield Township. The Community Development Department is proud to welcome the many new businesses that have opened their doors this year. Each new business and improvement to existing businesses represents another investment in our community and strengthens our local economy.

One area seeing significant activity is the Route 30 corridor. Residents will notice several exciting additions, including a new Sheetz, Clean Express Auto Wash, and Dick’s House of Sport at Westmoreland Mall. Sheetz welcomed its first customers earlier this spring, while Clean Express Auto Wash and Dick’s House of Sport are making great progress and are expected to open in the near future.

These projects reflect the continued confidence businesses have in Hempfield Township as a great place to invest and grow. The Community Development Department looks forward to working with both new and existing businesses to encourage responsible development and provide residents with additional shopping, dining, and service opportunities for years to come.

Township

Public Works

Right-of-Ways (ROW)

Frequently Asked Questions • Answers from Public Works

1. What is a right-of-way?

A right-of-way is a legally established area of land that allows the public, utility companies, and the Township to construct, maintain, and operate transportation infrastructure such as roads, shoulders, drainage systems, and utilities.

In most Pennsylvania townships, the ROW includes the roadway itself plus additional space on both sides of the road.

2. How wide is a typical Township right-of-way?

In Hempfield Township, the standard ROW is 16.5 feet from the centerline of the road in each direction (33 feet total) unless otherwise established by deed, plan, or court action.

However, actual ROW widths can vary depending on: ⏹ Recorded subdivision plans ⏹ Historical road establishment ⏹ Road dedication documents ⏹ Court orders or agreements

3. Does the Township own the right-of-way?

The Township does not “own” the land.

Utility Companies maintain their own facilities (gas, electric, communications) located within the ROW. Property owners have the right to maintain the right of way abutting to their property as they see fit.

6. Can the Township access private property within the ROW? Yes. The Township and its contractors may enter the ROW without prior notice to perform maintenance, repairs, inspections, and emergency work.

This includes temporary access to private land if necessary to complete work safely or effectively.

Fire & Safety

Safe Charging Is a Charge into Fire Safety ™ Safe charging means making smart choices every time you plug in. Everyday charging habits can help prevent lithium-ion battery fires.

Safe charging is a SUPERPOWER!

USE YOUR CHARGING SUPERPOWERS CHEAP CHARGER? DON’T CHANCE IT.

FULLY CHARGED? TIME TO UNPLUG.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.

Unplug your device when it is fully charged.

Why it matters: Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the chance of fire. Cheap or off-brand chargers may not meet important safety standards.

SOFT SURFACE? HARD PASS. Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or bare floor.

Why it matters: Devices and chargers create heat during normal charging. Soft surfaces like beds, pillows, and couches can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.

FEELS HOT? STOP USING IT. Stop using your device if it feels very hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds.

Why it matters: A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

Why it matters: Leaving a device plugged in can increase heat and stress on the battery.

FOR TOOLS AND RIDES, CHARGE OUTSIDE. Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible.

Do not block exits when charging.

Why it matters:These batteries are larger and store more energy. Fires can grow quickly if the battery fails.

OUT OF SIGHT? NOT IN FLIGHT. When on a plane, keep devices where you can see them while charging. Do not charge e-cigarettes or vapes on the plane. Tell a flight attendant if you notice a problem with your device, such as if it feels very hot, starts to swell, is smoking, or has a strange smell.

Why it matters: If a battery overheats or fails, it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly.

— Working smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan can help make a life-saving difference. —

BATTERY SAFETY STARTS BEFORE YOU PLUG IN Buy products listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, such as UL, ETL, or CSA.* Listed products meet important safety standards.

Cold Weather Safety Tips E A cold weather safety reminder from Hempfield Fire Department

Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fires during the colder months, and it’s also one of the most preventable. A few minutes of attention now can save your family a phone call to 911.

QUICK TIPS AT A GLANCE ✓ Keep space heaters 3+ feet from anything that can burn.

Plug directly into the wall, never an extension cord. ✓ Have chimneys and wood stoves inspected and cleaned every year before first use. ✓ Schedule an annual furnace inspection with a qualified technician. ✓ Install CO detectors on every level of your home, especially near bedrooms. Test them monthly. ✓ Run generators outside only, at least 20 feet from windows and doors. Never in a garage.

Space heaters need room to breathe.

Keep them at least three feet from anything that can burn: curtains, furniture, bedding, paper.

Plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord or power strip, and turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep.

Carbon monoxide detectors belong on every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas. Test them when you test your smoke detectors. If your CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside immediately and call 911 from a safe location. Don’t go back in to “check.”

Wood stoves and fireplaces need yearly attention. Have your chimney inspected and cleaned by a certified professional before the season’s first fire. Creosote buildup is the culprit behind most chimney fires, and it builds up whether you notice it or not.

Generators stay outside, period. If winter storms knock out your power, run generators at least 20 feet from windows and doors. Never run one in a garage, even with the door open.

Furnaces deserve a checkup too. An annual inspection by a qualified technician catches problems before they become carbon monoxide leaks, which you cannot see or smell. If your furnace is decades old, ask your technician directly whether it’s time to replace it.

Take a few minutes this month to check your heating equipment and your detectors. It’s a small habit that has kept Hempfield families safe for generations, and it’ll keep yours safe too. We’d rather talk to you about this in a newsletter than meet you on the worst night of your year.

Questions about heating safety, chimney inspections, or carbon monoxide detectors? Contact Hempfield Fire Department at 724-834-7232, ext. 634 or www.hempfieldtwp.com.

Fire & Safety

very winter, Hempfield Fire crews respond to calls that didn’t have to happen. A space heater too close to a curtain. A wood stove that hadn’t been cleaned in years. A furnace quietly leaking carbon monoxide into a sleeping house. None of these start as emergencies. They start as small decisions that go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Weather Alert System

Safety is a top priority for Hempfield Parks and Recreation. Hempfield Park is equipped with an advanced weather warning station designed to detect nearby lightning activity. When lightning is detected within the area, the system will activate both an audible alarm (siren) and a visual warning signal to alert all visitors.

At the sound or sight of an alert, all guests are strongly advised to seek safe shelter preferably inside a fully enclosed building or a vehicle. Open areas, athletic fields, playgrounds, and water features should be cleared until the system indicates it is safe to resume activities.

These warning stations are in place to help keep our community safe, remember when thunder roars, go indoors.

BI-MONTHLY HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION EVENT

Household Hazardous Waste is waste found in our households that are hazardous in nature. The labels on these products typically use words like CAUTION, DANGER, WARNING, POISON, TOXIC or FLAMMABLE. Because of the dangers of these chemicals, if carelessly managed, these consumer products can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human (and pet) health.

When they are no longer usable or are unwanted, they should be disposed of at a household hazardous waste collection event. Although Hempfield residents have the option to schedule a HHW pick up through County Hauling, our Recycling Center remains an available option.

Accepted Household Hazardous Waste (5-Gallon containers or smaller):

à Oil base/latex base paints à Deck stains à Flammable liquids à Drain cleaners à Fertilizers à Antifreeze

à Automotive fluids à Putties à Adhesives à Glues à Wood/metal finishing products à Water sealers

à Household cleaning agents à Herbicides/ pesticides à Batteries

Prohibited items

à Explosives à Flares à Ammunition à Radioactive materials à Pharmaceuticals

à Syringes à Medical waste à Smoke detectors à Mercury- containing devices à Elemental mercury.

For Cleaner Ways and a Brighter Future…

Westmoreland Cleanways and Recycling operates a recycling center for certain hard-to-dispose material and offers bi-monthly household hazardous waste collections. We also support the cleanup of illegal dumpsites and littered areas, and educate through presentations, table displays, and school visits.

LITTER IS DOWN, BUT THE WORK ISN’T DONE

The 2026 Keep America Beautiful National Litter Study reports encouraging progress in comparison to the 2020 data. Roadway and waterway litter has decreased by 34%, including reductions in plastics (24%), glass (34%), paper (45%), metal (30%), and cigarette butts (62%). One category that increased was cardboard litter, up 50%.

Despite these gains, an estimated 35 billion pieces of litter still remain nationwide— about 2,200 pieces per mile of roadway and 1,300 pieces per mile of waterway.

How You Can Help Prevent Litter

• Delay setting trash and recycling at the curb if high winds are expected.

• Pick up any loose trash or recyclables left behind after collection.

• Keep dumpster lids and doors closed and clean up any spills.

• Cover loads when transporting materials in a truck bed.

• Keep a small trash bag in your vehicle to prevent litter from escaping.

People are less likely to litter in clean areas, making litter cleanups an effective way to beautify neighborhood and discourage future littering. Pick up litter in your yard, bring a bag on neighborhood walks, or participate in a community cleanup.

Westmoreland Cleanways supports local cleanup efforts by providing bags, gloves, safety vests, road signs, and other supplies. Contact us to learn how we can help make your cleanup a success.
