Police Department Community Safety Initiatives
Because safety, understanding, and connection start with community. Occupant
with Autism Program
The Lower Providence Township Police Department is dedicated to protecting and supporting every member of our community, including individuals with autism and their families. As part of this commitment, we're proud to offer the Occupant with Autism Program, a safety initiative designed to help first responders recognize when a person with autism may be present in a home or vehicle.
All of our officers have received autism awareness training to ensure responses are compassionate,
The Blue Envelope Program
informed, and appropriate, especially in situations where verbal communication may be limited or instructions may not be followed in expected ways.
To support this effort, we offer FREE decals and car magnets for residents to display:
• Near the front entrance of their home
• On the rear window or bumper of their vehicle
These visual indicators help ensure our team can approach with added care and understanding during emergencies.
This Montgomery County initiative is designed to assist drivers with autism during traffic stops. The blue envelope holds vehicle documents and provides guidance for both the driver and the officer to ensure a calm and clear interaction. The envelope includes a communication card where drivers can indicate preferred ways to communicate, sensitivities, or common behavioral responses. It's a valuable tool for promoting safety and reducing anxiety for both parties.
PennDOT's Yellow Dot Program
PennDOT's Yellow Dot Program is a statewide safety initiative designed to assist anyone who may have autism, a medical condition, dementia, mental health needs, or difficulty communicating during an emergency. Participants place a yellow dot sticker on the rear window of their vehicle and store a completed Yellow Dot folder in the glove compartment. This folder includes essential information such as emergency contacts, medical history, medications, and communication preferences. In the event of a crash or emergency, this tool helps first responders provide faster, more informed care when every second counts.

H.E.R.O.S. in the Making: Spotlighting Our Youth
The Lower Providence Township Police Department is proud to introduce H.E.R.O.S. in the Making, an initiative honoring the exceptional character of Methacton students in grades K-6.
H.E.R.O.S. stands for Helpful, Empathetic, Respectful, Optimistic Students. This award recognizes young individuals who go above and beyond to uplift others, lead with kindness, and act with integrity. This program not only celebrates those remarkable
qualities but also strengthens positive connections between students and Law Enforcement Officers.
Each month, our officers recognize a nominated student who embodies these core values. Whether it's offering a helping hand, showing empathy to a classmate, or approaching challenges with a positive attitude, these students remind us all what it means to serve and support our community.
During the 2024-2025 school year, eight students were recognized through the program and featured on our Facebook page. Stay tuned as we continue to spotlight the bright future being shaped by these young H.E.R.O.S. in the making.

ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
Time to Prepare Your Pollinator Garden
Fall is the perfect time to support pollinators and set your garden up for success next year.
• Leave seed heads standing: Plants like coneflowers, blackeyed Susans, and milkweed provide seeds for birds and overwintering shelter for insects.
• Skip the deadheading! Don't over-clean: Leaf litter and hollow plant stems are essential winter habitat for native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
• Plant fall bloomers and natives: Goldenrod and asters are critical late-season food sources for pollinators.
Fall is also a great time to plant native perennials. They'll establish strong roots over winter. Water new plantings and keep watering any new additions until the ground freezes to ensure good root development.
Let your garden rest naturallypollinators will thank you!
Despite looking lush and green, traditional turf grass lawns provide little to no environmental benefits. In fact, they often have detrimental effects on the quality of local waterways, wildlife habitat, and the air that we breathe. Here are some of the ways that lawns can harm the environment:
• Lack of Biodiversity — lawns are typically made up of a single, nonnative grass species that does not provide shelter or food for wildlife.
• Increased Water Usage — lawns consume more water than native landscapes leading to water waste and increased runoff.
• Increased Carbon Footprint — the maintenance of lawns requires the use of gas powered lawn equipment that contributes to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Use of Harmful Pesticides / Fertilizer — these chemicals can harm local wildlife, contaminate water resources, and lead to the growth of algae that can be harmful to humans and pets.
Want to swap your high maintenance lawn for something more colorful, environmentally friendly, and easy to manage? Here are some ways to add biodiversity back into our yard:
• Decrease your lawn area smothering grass with cardboard is an easy way to kill turf and add garden area to our yard. Late summer / fall is the perfect time to remove turf and add native plants!
• Reduce / eliminate your household pesticide / herbicide use — use environmentally friendly alternatives or eliminate lawn care products all together!
• Plant with a variety of native species — native plants are vital to the survival of pollinators, birds and other wildlife. When planting your garden, aim to use species that bloom throughout the year as well as a mix of perennials, shrubs and trees!
• Add a bird, bat or pollinator house — providing safe areas for wildlife to rest and raise their young is a great way to increase the diversity of wildlife that call your yard home!
Help Keep Leaves
& Grass Off The Streets
Fall yard care practices can make a big impact on water quality. Grass clippings and leaves blown into the street during yard cleanup don't just disappear; they can end up clogging local storm sewer systems. Allowing yard waste into the street or down the storm drain can cause blockages or serious damage to the storm drain infrastructure.
Looking Ahead to Winter Weather
The Public Works Department counts on your cooperation to help them maintain roads during inclement weather. Here are some things to keep in mind:
During plowing, keeping main roads open and passable is the first priority Equipment is then moved immediately to residential areas. Because they carry the lowest volume of traffic, cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are the last plowed.
Please do not place snow from driveways into the street.
State law requires that vehicles be completely clear of snow and ice and headlights be on when windshield wipers are in use.
State and Montgomery County roads are cleared by their own crews; these are:
Mailbox Damage
If damage is caused by snow or ice hitting the mailbox or due to deteriorated materials, repair or replacement is the resident's responsibility. If it is determined that damage is caused by a Township plow truck striking the mailbox, the Township will provide $100 toward a replacement. If you believe that your mailbox was damage the result of direct contact with a plow truck, please call the Public Works Department (610-635-3525) within 48 hours after the storm has subsided. The T will evaluate the damage to determine responsibility.
What About Sidewalks?
Property owners and tenants of propertie bordering public streets are required b Township Ordinance to thoroughly clear a pathway at least 30 inches wide in the sidewalk within 48 hours after it stops snowing. In ice or sleet events, tenants/owners are required to cover the
You can help to prevent this by never raking or blowing leaves into the street and by blowing grass trimmings back into your yard.
Leaves are a potent source of nutrients. If you mulch them into smaller bits with your lawnmower, it has roughly the same effect as adding a round of store-bought fertilizer.
Adopt-A-Hydrant
If there's a fire hydrant outside your home or place of business, please consider taking the time to maintain it in the event of snowfall. A clear, 3-foot path on all sides makes hydrants easier for fire fighters to locate and can save precious time in an emergency.
Portable Basketball Hoops
Please make sure portable basketball hoops are moved out of the way of snowplows in order to prevent damage to both the plow and the hoops. Costs incurred due to a damaged hoop will be the owner's responsibility.
How Can I Keep Snow Out of my Driveway?
Before your street has been plowed, we recommend the following:
Please Note: It’s slmost impossible to keep snow from being deposited at driveways during plowing.
Pile snow here and avoid pushing snow into the road
When a Snow Emergency Is Declared…
Parking is prohibited on the odd numbered side of the street unless there is no off-street parking available at or within 300 feet of the property.
Anyone driving a vehicle without chains or snow (all-weather) tires that becomes stalled, incapable of moving or left unattended is in violation of the snow emergency provisions.
Any vehicle parked, stalled, incapable of moving under its own power or left unattended upon any street or road of the Township may be remove or towed by the Police Department.
Create a pocket to reduce the amount of snow in your driveway
Using this method to clear snow will reduce the amount of snow that accumulates at the end of your driveway!
SEWER AUTHORITY NEWS
Grant Applications
LPTSA has submitted two grant applications with the PA Small Water and Sewer Grant Program and one application with the PA Department of Community and Economic Development Statewide Local Share Assessment Grant Program. The projects associated with the application are expected to be announced in late September to midNovember
PA Small Water and Sewer Grant — $400,775 for Sewer Replacement near Audubon Road Pumping Station
The project associated with this application is the replacement of approximately 1,400 feet of aged clay pipe and seven manholes which drain to the Authority's Audubon Road Pumping Station. The sewers proposed for replacement are in a low-lying area and are subject to infiltration and inflow in wet weather, allowing stormwater and other types of non-sanitary sewer flow to enter the system. As a result, the flow to the Audubon Road Pumping Station increases greatly. This places strain on the pumps and can lead to overflow of the station. Replacement of this sewer will reduce infiltration and inflow and allow the station to operate more efficiently, extending the life of the equipment at the station. The total estimated project cost is $471,501.03. The Sewer Authority is prepared to finance the remaining balance of this project cost.
PA Small Water and Sewer Grant — $343,099 for Brick Manhole Replacement
The project associated with this application is the replacement of 27 brick manholes located on Pine Tree Drive, Bettie Lane, and Skyline Drive. Brick manholes are aged infrastructure that have exceeded their useful life. Degraded brick and mortar are prone to significant leaks, allowing non-sanitary sewer flow to enter the system. Conveyance and treatment of nonsanitary sewer flow (stormwater and groundwater) increases costs for all. Replacement of these manholes will reduce flow to the sewer system, improve facilities to current construction standards, and save ongoing costs associated with conveyance and treatment of wastewater
PA Department of Community and Economic Development Statewide Local Share Assessment Grant $1,000,000 for Mine Run Interceptor
The project associated with this application is the replacement of approximately 3,200 feet of sanitary sewer main and 27 manholes along the Mine Run Interceptor. The Mine Run Interceptor is a critical element of the Sewer Authority's sanitary sewer system infrastructure. Largely due to its age and material composition, the interceptor is highly susceptible to infiltration and inflow, which allows stormwater and other types of nonsanitary sewer flow to enter the system. As a result, the area flowing to the Mine Run Interceptor experiences high flows during wet weather and has been under a Connection
Management Plan (CMP) overseen by the PA Department of Environmental Protection. This limits the number of connections to the system, presenting challenges and delays to project owners interested in development and redevelopment in this area. Replacement of this length of sewer will reduce infiltration and inflow, increasing available sewer capacity for the area and preserving sewer facilities for their intended use the conveyance and treatment of wastewater
Current In-House Capital Improvement project — Cost TBD for Valley Forge Pump Station Force Main
The project associated with the replacement of the Valley Forge Pump Station Force Main is currently being surveyed by Authority engineers. It includes 2,485 feet of 10-inch force main that has been failing and has caused eight to ten costly spot repairs of the last 20 years. This main has outlasted its 50year life expectancy by 10 to 15 years.
The Authority has invested over $10,000,000 of funds, secured through a borrowing, to replace aging infrastructure, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining its system. The Authority also regularly reviews and updates its Capital Improvement Plan to prioritize system needs. Grant funding for future projects is essential for continued maintenance of the sewer system without increasing costs to ratepayers other than for maintenance and material costs.
RATE INCREASE
In your most recent July sewer bill, you received notice that the Authority is having a rate increase. The Sewer Authority Board did not come to this decision lightly. Please note that the funds on the bill marked LPVRSA (treatment) are a direct pass through to the Lower Perkiomen Valley Regional Sewer Authority.
The Sewer Authority has been hit with high costs for maintenance and materials (we maintain currently approximately 100 miles of pipe and 17 pumping stations within the Township.) A good portion of this aging system and pump stations are 60 years old. We transport on average 3 million gallons of sewage per day through the collection system to the treatment plant for treatment and that number continues to increase.
In addition to the materials for the above, there are chemicals, fuel and diesel fuel increases and we have been hit with a high rate increase from PECO for the power to run each pump station.
The Authority is funding necessary infrastructure improvements (we have done one major sewer replacement project a year for the last five to six years due to the continued deterioration of the system) and replacing aging pipes and pumps, while complying with environmental regulations. These changes minimize sewer backups and overflows, ensure reliable service and protect the public health and the environment.
The Lower Providence Township Sewer Authority has found ways not to raise the sewer rates for several years but as of the last two years has been forced to do so due to the aging system. Our rates are still considerably less than those of neighboring Townships. Our small, but efficient three-man crew has been doing an excellent job maintain the system for many years. As always, we are working hard to manage costs effectively and maintain the highest level of service for our customers.
RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS
The rate is $416.00 per annum, payable at the rate of $104.00 per billing quarter per EDU (LPTSA collection rate of $53.00, and LPVRSA treatment rate of $51.00 per EDU).
NON-RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS
The sewer rental for non-residential users (all commercial, industrial, schools, clubhouses, fire houses, office, banks, hospitals, churches, chapels, institutions, and any other nonresidential users) shall be $51.00 per assigned UFU (user fee unit) per quarter, plus actual consumption divided by 18,200 gallons per quarter rounded up (as measured by the water bill promulgated to each non-residential user) which is consumed during the quarter for which billing is rendered, provided, however that the minimum sewer rental charge for each non-residential improved property shall be $53.00 per quarterly billing period in addition to the charge related to UFUs.
NON-RESIDENTIAL WITH APARTMENTS UNITS
In addition to the charges associated with the nonresidential rate (as set forth above), each apartment unit shall be billed $212.00 annually ($53.00 per billing quarter) for collection. Should a property owner contend that this amount is already being collected pursuant to the water usage calculation, then a separate water meter shall be installed for the nonresidential and the residential apartment use(s) to determine actual water usage.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Sewer Authority wants our customers to know that our employees are always available during regular business hours by calling 610-539-6161 to address emergency situations. After hours emergencies, please call 1-888-831-7818. If you should have a backup in your outside line, contact us so that we can verify that it is not being caused by a blockage in our main line before you call a plumber.

Eagle Scout Project
On behalf of the Lower Providence Township Parks and Recreation Board and the residents of Lower Providence, the Department would like to congratulate Dylan Weber on the completion of his Eagle Scout Project. Dylan is a senior at Methacton High School and an active member of Boy Scout Troop 133. He presented his Eagle Scout Project to the Lower Providence Township Parks and Recreation Board in June 2025. He constructed and installed four bat houses across Eagleville Park.
The installations include signage with a QR code, allowing park visitors to learn how bats support a healthy ecosystem, are critical for natural pest control, and are experiencing a decline in population. Visitors can also learn how to make their own bat boxes.
The Township is the grateful recipient of Dylan's hard work on constructing and installing the bat houses with the help from his Scoutmaster and the Lower Providence Parks Crew. His work has enhanced our park and provides fantastic learning experience for all. Thank you Dylan for making our park even more desirable to visit!
