Dear Neighbor, Happy Holidays! As 2018 comes to a close, let's remember the many accomplishments of Haverford Township that benefit our residents, businesses and organizations every day. On this note, please review the enclosed 2019 Annual Budget summary by Township Manager, Larry Gentile. This summary provides an accounting of the Township's efforts and achievements in 2018 that have contributed to making our community a better place to live and work. Now that winter has begun, residents are reminded to remove their vehicles from the streets as soon as the snow starts to fall. Street parking impedes the Public Works crews from being able to remove snow in a timely and efficient manner. All sidewalks are to be

cleared of snow and ice 24 hours after the snow stops falling. If your neighbor is unable to clear his/her sidewalk, please consider pitching in to help. As you consider your new year's health and fitness goals, remember that all residents ages 14 and over are eligible for a free walking track pass at the Community Recreation and Environmental Center (CREC) located at Haverford Reserve. Blood pressure screenings are also available at the CREC every first Monday of each month from 9-11am. 2019 Real Estate, Sewer and Trash Service bills should arrive in homes during the first week of February. A 2% discount is available to those property owners who pay their bill by March 31, 2019. Conversely, a 10% penalty will be added on if

the bill is still unpaid as of June 1, 2019. There are three items billed - real estate taxes, sewer rent and the trash service fee. If you have not received your tax bill by the second week of February, please call the Finance Department at 610-446-1000 ext. 2242. Wishing everyone good health and best wishes during the Holiday Season, New Year and beyond!
