Roads & Sewage

Thirteen full-time employees make up the Road Division and Sewer Division. The Road division is responsible for general road maintenance, mowing rights of way and street sweeping throughout the Township. The Sanitary Sewer Division is accountable for general maintenance and cleaning of Township owned sanitary sewer lines and storm sewers in addition to improvements to sewers.

Winter Maintenance


The Road Division also takes care of storm cleanup and winter maintenance on approximately 125 lane miles of roads within the township each winter. Over recent years, the Road Crew has been pretreating roads with salt brine. The application of salt brine 24-72 hours prior to a snow fall will provide for safer travel during the early stages of a snow and give the crew time to get out onto the roads to begin traditional treatment.

To assist the road crew with this endeavor, the Public Works Department asks that homeowners and business owners plow or shovel snow to the right side of the driveway as you are facing the intersecting roadway by plowing away from the direction of oncoming snow plows. This action will prevent the bulk of the snow from being pushed back onto the driveway. Please eliminate snow piles at the driveway entrance whenever possible. Do not push snow out onto roads at any time. This creates hazardous driving conditions for all vehicles. Homeowners can be held responsible for accidents which result after snow has been shoveled onto Township maintained roads. The Township is asking the public's cooperation by following the preceding guidelines. (see diagram below).

Street Sweeping


Beginning in late March, or as weather permits, the Township begins sweeping Township roads. Street sweeping is done to remove dirt and anti-skid material that is put down during the winter months. Please do not sweep the area in front of your house and leave it out for garbage pick-up. The Sanitation crew will not pick up this material.

North Fayette Township has a pavement management plan that determines which roads need to be paved and which need repaired. Roads are periodically examined to determine the extent of repairs that are needed for each road if any. Some roads just need a few potholes patched while others are part of the Township's extensive seal coating operation (tar and chip) in order to extend the life of the road until it has to be placed in the budget for being paved.

While within the Township boundaries, some roads are not the responsibility of the Township Public Works Department and are actually owned by Allegheny County or PennDOT.
