Snow Emergency Declared

A snow emergency has been declared for Chalfont Borough beginning at 1:00AM on Feb. 13, 2024, and continuing for the duration of the storm until cleanup has been completed. All cars must be removed from streets so they can be plowed. Violators will be ticketed and towed.  Our goal is to ensure safe and clear roads for residents.

Snow must be removed from your sidewalk within 12 hours of the storm’s end.  Residents and business owners, if you have a fire hydrant located on or near your property, clear snow within three feet around the hydrant and shovel a path from the hydrant to the street for firefighter access because every second counts in an emergency.  Thank you!
