Snow Alert Declared

The Borough has declared a Snow Alert effective for 8:00 pm on Sunday, January 5, 2025, until further notice. We will continue to monitor forecasts, and should predictions change, the Borough will adjust the upcoming alert. As projected accumulations vary, we are moving ahead with the alert declaration to ensure our crews are able to do the necessary work both prior to and during the upcoming weather event. Crews will be out when the snow begins and will continue to monitor the storm and plow/salt accordingly.

For citizens, a snow alert means that all vehicles parked on those streets where signage indicates no parking during a snow alert are required, by law, to be moved elsewhere in order to allow snow plowing of the road surface. Snow alert signage dictates which side of the street residents may not park on when an alert is declared. Residents may park in their driveways (if available), alternate sides of their street, or on another street not marked “No Parking.” These parking restrictions are put into place for the purpose of public safety as well as the efficiency of snow clearing on Borough streets; vehicles in violation are subject to ticketing and/or towing.

Property owners are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure that their public sidewalk areas are cleared of snow/ice within 12 hours of the last snowfall, including curb ramps at intersections. This helps to ensure that these areas are safe for pedestrians. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

For any weather-related emergency, please dial 9-1-1.

Emergency Declaration – Open Burning Ban – Extended until December 19, 2024

UPDATE: Borough Council has extended the Mayor’s Proclamation, banning all open burning activities, through December 19, 2024, unless earlier rescinded or modified by Council.

Given the historic current drought, lack of rainfall and high winds, and the potential for uncontrollable fire spread, a ban has been issued on all open burning activities. This declaration is made after consultation with the Narberth Fire Department, the Borough’s Emergency Management Coordinator and the Chair of the Public Safety Committee of Council. This burn ban prohibits all non-cooking {propane, natural gas and charcoal) related open burning. The ban includes open fires, including recreational fire pits, chimineas and fireworks. The ban does not include a small candle placed inside of a pumpkin for the purpose of decoration on Halloween, so long as the candle remains supervised.

All Borough emergency response leaders have been informed of the open burn ban. Borough Police officers are directed to enforce this ban until further notice.

The Borough of Narberth is committed to the safety of its residents, visitors, businesses and neighbors.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Mayor Andrea Deutsch
