In Season, residents and businesses within Towanda Borough are reminded to keep sidewalks cleared of snow and ice within 24 hours after a snow or ice event has ended.

A path of at least a shovel width wide is required. Snow removed from sidewalks or driveways should not be pushed out into the roadway as a safety precaution of drivers.

A reminder from Towanda/Wysox Water Systems: Water pipes and meters can freeze within hours of the onset of sub-freezing weather if they’re exposed to cold air or drafts. Property owners are responsible for protecting their water pipes and water meters (interior or exterior) from cold air and wind. Winterizing Tips: 1) Seal cracks & holes with caulking in outside walls and foundations near water pipes. 2) Fit exposed pipes with insulation sleeves or wrapping to slow heat loss. 3) Keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets connected to pipes inside your home that run through an unheated or unprotected space. 4) Remove all hoses from outside faucets & shut them off from the inside before any colder temperatures hit. Leave the fixtures open to drain. 5) If possible, maintain minimum temperatures in areas of your home where the water meter is located to prevent freezing of the interior plumbing fixtures. 6) If you plan to be away for an extended time during the winter months, have someone check on your home to assure there is minimum temperatures inside to prevent freezing of the interior plumbing fixtures.
