Welcome to the Sadsbury Township Website. We hope you find our website informative. If you are new to the Township welcome.
THE SUMMER HEAT IS HERE......on hot sunny days the road surface heats up and you may see the road surface look wet. This is the oil heating up and coming to the surface, this is a common issue Road Departments deal with. Last year, the media termed this issue “melting roads” If you do a google search you will see Fox and WGAL reported stories about the “melting roads in Lancaster County". Last year, our issues were on Quaker Church and Vintage Roads, hopefully they won’t be a problem this year, but we are keeping an eye on them on the hot days. This year, the issues have been on Upper Valley Road and we expected this as it was resurfaced last summer. If the oil in the road gets hot enough, it will detach from the road surface, we've applied stone to help absorb the soft oil. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to all the Residents along Upper Valley Road who brought our Public Works Department staff water the last few days, as we shoveled stone onto the road surface.
The rain events continue to create projects for Public Works Department. Creek Road had a substantial wash-out from a rain event in late June. The Public works department is working to move the road over a few feet as well as stabilize the bank down to the creek with Rip-Rap. This repair will continue through the fall. At this time we posted the road closed until the repairs are complete. The Brick Mill Culvert replacement is well underway. We anticipate the Culvert will be delivered and installed late fall.
Please be advised the Township will be resurfacing Mine & Buck Hill Road. The roads will be closed for the contractor to install the seal coat. Watch for the orange fresh oil signs.
During the month of August the office staff will be taking days off for vacation so please call before coming in to make sure someone is here.
