Keeping East Cocalico Township Moving
The East Cocalico Township Public Works Department works year-round to keep our roads, parks, and public spaces safe, maintained, and looking their best.
With approximately 60 miles of Township-maintained roads, our Public Works crew takes on a wide range of responsibilities throughout the year. From road repairs and stormwater maintenance to snow removal, park upkeep, and traffic signs, their work helps keep our community running smoothly through every season.
Roads & Infrastructure
Keeping Township roads safe and well-maintained is a top priority for our Public Works Department. Throughout the year, crews handle a variety of maintenance and improvement projects, including:
-
Road Maintenance & Repairs: Paving, pothole patching, and preventative maintenance
-
Drainage & Stormwater: Maintaining roadside drainage systems, stormwater inlets, and pipes
-
Traffic Signs & Markings: Installing and maintaining road signs and pavement markings
-
Roadside Maintenance: Maintaining shoulders, vegetation, and rights-of-way
-
Road Improvements: Inspecting road conditions and coordinating construction and improvement projects
Planning Work Along a Township Road?
Certain construction, excavation, and utility work within Township roads or rights-of-way requires a Road Occupancy Permit before work can begin.

Snow & Ice Removal
When winter weather arrives, the East Cocalico Township Public Works Department works to keep approximately 60 miles of Township-maintained roads safe and passable.
Crews follow a priority plowing schedule, beginning with emergency routes and primary roads before moving to secondary streets, cul-de-sacs, and other low-volume roadways.
Residents can help snow removal operations by keeping vehicles and other objects off Township streets during winter weather.
Stormwater & Drainage
Public Works also maintains portions of the Township's stormwater infrastructure, including inlets, pipes, swales, and other drainage facilities.
Regular maintenance helps manage stormwater runoff, reduce drainage problems, protect Township infrastructure, and improve water quality in our local streams.
Residents can do their part by keeping grass clippings, leaves, trash, sediment, and other debris out of streets, storm drains, and drainage areas.
Property owners are also responsible for maintaining stormwater facilities located on their property, when required.

Parks, Grounds & Township Properties
The Public Works Department helps keep Township parks, recreational areas, buildings, and public properties clean, safe, and well-maintained throughout the year.
From mowing grass and maintaining landscaping to repairing equipment, preparing recreational facilities for seasonal use, and cleaning up after storms, our crews work behind the scenes to keep these spaces welcoming and enjoyable for residents.
Public Works also assists with maintenance and improvement projects at Township-owned properties, helping preserve the facilities and outdoor spaces our community uses every day.
