The Northampton Township Public Works Department has a number of varied duties and responsibilities and, like the chores you have at your home, it seems our work is never done. Despite weather, winds or high water, every effort is made to accomplish our list of jobs, and residents' cooperation is essential to the effectiveness of the department. Some of our work is part of a master plan for the year dealing with capitol improvements, however most of our work is dictated by the conditions within the Township and complaints and concerns that are generated by you, the resident.

Some of the daily work schedule to be done by the Public Works Department is as follows: repave roads, patch pot holes, remove snow from roads, repair and install guard rails, repair street lights, traffic signals, repair sink holes, maintain storm sewers, spread salt for ice control on roads, paint pedestrian crossing and 'caution' markings, pedestrian lanes, line highway lanes, and center lanes, erect street and regulatory signs, sweep roads, remove fallen trees and limbs from roads, mow detention basins, open space islands and township complex = 762 acres, Maintenance of all township buildings, maintenance and repair of all township vehicles and equipment.
