Help Us Help You in an Emergency: Have Your House Number Visible!
Critical time is lost in an emergency when your house does not have a visible number on the mailbox or the house. The number needs to be in plain site without any obstructions. The Fire Department, Police Department, and EMS want to find your house quickly. If emergency personnel are faced with the challenge of responding to a location with no visible house number, it could cause a delay in service. Responders' duty is to save lives, and for them every second counts.
Montgomery Township's Code requires that "street numbers shall be so located and maintained so as to be conspicuous and readily observable from the street... [and] that the street numbers at all times are not obstructed from plain view from the street."
Help us help you - keep your address visible!

Montgomery Township Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) and Stormwater Management
The goals of all MS4s programs and Montgomery Township are to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the township, to protect water quality and to satisfy requirements of the Clean Water Act. Montgomery Township would like you to remember that the water and any items that go into a storm sewer go directly into streams. This water is not cleaned in any way and does not go to the waste water treatment plant. Montgomery Township needs all of its residents to assist us in keeping our storm water and storm water sewer system clean by doing the following: dispose of water properly, clean up and dispose of pet waste properly, use fertilizers according to manufacturer's guidelines to prevent excess runoff and store materials that could pollute storm water indoors. Also, please monitor storm water inlets near your property. No one should dump anything into the storm sewer system. If you see someone dumping please call the township at 215-393-6900.
