REFLECTING ON A YEAR OF PROGRESS AND LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026
As we welcome 2026, I am honored to reflect on the remarkable progress we achieved together in Lower Providence Township over the past year. 2025 was a year defined by thoughtful planning, strategic investments, and a deep commitment to strengthening our community
A major milestone was the advancement of the Township Municipal Complex Project. This year, we purchased an existing building that will be renovated to meet the needs of both our Police Department and administrative staff. By modernizing and centralizing these essential services, we will improve accessibility for residents, enhance public safety, and provide more efficient spaces for community programs and meetings. Additionally, we were pleased to learn about the acquisition of Audubon Water by Pennsylvania American Water, which will benefit our residents. This transition ensures a reliable and high-quality water supply for our community now and into the future.
Fiscal responsibility remained a top priority. The Board approved the 2026 Township Budget, focusing on sustainable investments in infrastructure, public safety, and vital services. We successfully secured grant funding to support key improvements and community
initiatives, helping us deliver enhanced services while maintaining prudent financial stewardship.
Throughout 2025, our community events, from lively summer concerts to festive holiday gatherings, brought neighbors together and reinforced the strong civic pride that defines Lower Providence. These moments of connection are at the heart of what makes our Township so special.
I am pleased to congratulate Supervisor Terri Neufeglise on her election to a six-year term on the Board. At our January 5, 2026 Reorganization Meeting, we welcomed new committee and commission members and recognize the many residents who generously volunteer their time and expertise. Your involvement is vital to our continued success.
Serving as Chair for the past two ye has been a true privilege. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity t alongside dedicated Township Board members, staff, and residents. As I pass the gavel to the incoming Chair I do so with confidence in our shared vision for a strong, connected, and forward-thinking Lower Providence Township.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to transparency, open communication, and ongoing community engagement. I encourage all residents to s
involved and share your ideas as we build an even brighter future together

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVES
At its December 18, 2025 meeting, the Lower Providence Township Board of Supervisors approved the 2026 budget, maintaining all existing services and ensuring no General Fund deficit. The budget includes adjustments to several millage rates, with the General Fund rising by 0.0292 mills, Emergency Services Fund by 0.0616 mills, the Library Fund by 0.0154 mills, and the Debt Service Fund by 0.2882 mills. These changes are expected to increase funding for road improvements, library services, ambulance operations, and debt obligations related to the new municipal complex at 800 Adams Avenue, while also supporting community services, rising costs, and equipment replacement.
In addition, under Act 54, the Board reallocated 0.1998 mills from the General Fund to Emergency Services. This shift is costneutral for residents but eliminates the Emergency Services Fund's reliance on General Fund transfers, improving financial transparency.
The overall real estate tax millage will rise to 4.2534 mills. For a home with an average assessment of $157,939, this represents an estimated increase of $5.19 per month, or $62.29 annually. Property tax bills are divided among the Township (9%), Montgomery County (12%), Montgomery County Community College (1%), and Methacton School District (78%).
The Board emphasized that the budget process involved months of careful planning, including public workshops and detailed staff

review. Since the first budget workshop, approximately $248,500 in budget cuts were implemented to help mitigate the impact on property owners.
The 2026 budget not only addresses current operational needs but also advances longterm infrastructure and capital projects. Key investments include an additional $100,000 for ambulance funding, $25,000 for library services, an additional $75,000 for the LongTerm Capital Replacement Program, the formation of a Qualified Code Enforcement Critical Repair Program, a funding increase for the 2026 road program, the initiation of the Red Tail Master Plan, the fulfillment of contractual obligations for the Township's collective bargaining agreements, and the full funding of debt expenses associated with the 800 Adams Ave.
Lower Providence Township remains in a strong financial position, supported by a healthy fund balance and excellent credit rating.
The full 2026 budget is available for public review at lowerprovidence.org

EMS NEWS
How to Practice Safe Sharps Disposal at Home
With the rise in prescriptions of all types of injectable medication, and a steady rise in diabetes diagnosis, Lower Providence EMS wanted to provide Township residents with accurate information on safe disposal.
When you use needles, lancets, or other sharp medical tools at home, knowing how to dispose of them safely is crucial. These items can cause injury or spread infections if not handled properly.
Why Safe Sharps Disposal Matters
Sharps include needles, syringes, lancets, and other pointed medical devices. When these are thrown away carelessly, they pose risks to you, your family, and sanitation workers. Imagine a needle sticking out of the trash bag - it can cause painful injuries or transmit diseases like hepatitis or HIV. Safe sharps disposal protects everyone. It prevents accidental needle sticks and keeps your community healthy. Plus, it's often required by law to follow specific disposal rules.
Here are some key reasons to practice safe sharps disposal:
• Prevent injuries: Needles can easily poke through trash bags and cause harm.
• Stop infections: Used sharps may carry blood borne pathogens.
• Protecting the environment: Proper disposal prevents contamination of soil and water.
Here's a simple, step-by-step approach to keeping things safe and easy:
Use a proper sharps container: Always place used needles and sharps in a sturdy, puncture-resistant container. These containers are usually red or yellow and have a secure lid.
1. Do not recap or bend needles: Avoid trying to put the cap back on or bending needles before disposal. This increases the risk of injury.
water lines. The Park Ave./Eagleville Rd./Crawford Rd. intersection realignment project consists of widening and re-profiling Park Avenue, realigning Crawford Road, completing improvements to the Eagleville Road approach, installing a traffic signal and associated infrastructure improvements. The Township secured grant funding from PennDOT for the project, marking a great example of an intergovernmental partnership that works to benefit the community. Updates are posted to lowerprovidence.org, “Current Projects” tab.
Resources for Human Development (RHD) Supportive Short-Term Housing Proposal
- In June 2025, the Township's Zoning Hearing Board voted to deny the RHD's appeal of its zoning permit denial. RHD filed an appeal with the Court of Common Pleas in July 2025. The case has been assigned to Common Pleas Judge Tolliver. The Township's liability insurance carrier picked up the litigation as an insurance claim and subsequently assigned defense counsel to handle the case. There is currently no schedule for the next steps in this appeal. Insurance counsel will continue to vigorously defend the Township and we will provide additional updates to the Township website as they become available. For additional background and updates: www.lowerprovidence.org (RHD Proposal tab)
2. Fill the container only up to the fill line: Overfilling can cause sharps to poke out and create hazards.
3. Keep the container out of reach of children and pets: Store it in a safe place until you can dispose of it properly
4. Seal the container when full: Once the container is full, close it tightly to prevent sharps from spilling out.
If you don't have a sharps container, you can use a heavy-duty plastic bottle with a screwon lid as a temporary solution. Just make sure it's clearly labeled and puncture resistant.

PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works Winter Weather Reminders
The Public Works Department counts on your cooperation to help them maintain roads during inclement weather. Here are some things to keep in mind: During plowing, keeping main roads open and passable is the first priority. Equipment is then moved immediately to residential areas. Because they carry the lowest volume of traffic, cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are the last plowed.
Please do not place snow from driveways into the street.
State law requires that vehicles be completely clear of snow and ice and headlights be on when windshield wipers are in use.
State and Montgomery County roads are cleared by their own crews; these are:

When
a Snow Emergency Is Declared…
Parking is prohibited on the odd numbered side of the street unless there is no off-street parking available at or within 300 feet of the property
Anyone driving a vehicle without chains or snow (all-weather) tires that becomes stalled, incapable of moving or left unattended is in violation of the snow emergency provisions.
Any vehicle parked, stalled, incapable of moving under its own power or left unattended upon any street or road of the Township may be remove or towed by the Police Department.
Mailbox Damage
If damage is caused by snow or ice hitting the mailbox or due to deteriorated materials, repair or replacement is the resident's responsibility. If it is determined that damage is caused by a Township plow truck striking the mailbox, the Township will provide $100 toward a replacement. If you believe that your mailbox was damage the result of direct contact with a plow truck, please call the Public Works Department (610-635-3525) within 48 hours after the storm has subsided.
What About Sidewalks?
Property owners and tenants of propertie bordering public streets are required b Township Ordinance to thoroughly clear a pathway at least 30 inches wide in the sidewalk within 48 hours after it stops snowing. In ice or sleet events, tenants/owners are required to cover the sidewalk with ashes, sawdust or similar materials. Placing snow in the roadway or gutter is prohibited (Ordinance 120-34).
Adopt-A-Hydrant
If there's a fire hydrant outside your home or place of business, please consider taking the time to maintain it in the event of snowfall. A clear, 3-foot path on all sides makes hydrants easier for fire fighters to locate and can save precious time in an emergency
Move the Hoops
Please make sure portable basketball hoops are moved out of the way of snowplows in order to prevent damage to both the plow and the hoops. Costs incurred due to a damaged hoop will be the owner's
How Can I Keep Snow Out of my Driveway?
Before your street has been plowed, we recommend the following:
Pile snow here and avoid pushing snow into the road
Please Note: It’s slmost impossible to keep snow from being deposited at driveways during plowing.
Using this method to clear snow will reduce the amount of snow that accumulates at the end of your driveway!
Create a pocket to reduce the amount of snow in your driveway

How To Avoid Sewage Backups — Maintain Your Side Sewer Pipe
HERE'S WHAT TO DO:
DISCONNECT YOUR DOWNSPOUTS OR FLOOR DRAIN FROM THE SANITARY
SEWER: This is a violation of the Township ordinance and must be disconnected. If you are uncertain if your downspouts or floor drains are connected to the sanitary sewer, please contact the Sewer Authority. We will be happy to come out to inspect.
REPLACE UNCAPPED CLEANOUTS: An uncapped clean out will allow excess water and debris into the sanitary sewer line. Caps are available at your local hardware, home improvement or plumbing supply store.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE FOR ROOTS IN SEWER LATERALS: The reason tree roots penetrate the sewer lines is that they are looking for moisture. Sewer line pipes carry a lot of water, making them the best sources of moisture. If there is any crack, the consistent supply of water will cause the roots to expand to fill and cause damage to your pipe.
Early signs that there are tree roots or a clog in your sewer pipe are the slow draining of
water or some gurgling sound when you flush. However, the best time to call a plumber is when you start to notice the slow draining of water. The slow draining means that something is clogging your pipe. Sewer Authority employees are available during regular business hours by calling 610-539-6161. If you should have a backup in your outside line, contact us so that we can verify that it is not being caused by a blockage in our main line before you call your plumber
Foaming Root Killer works effectively against root growth in your sewer line pipe. It does not only remove the roots presently in your pipes but also helps against future occurrences. Root killer foams when it contacts water. Pour the powder into your toilet and flush. The root killing agent, Dichlobenil, is released into the pipe and it heads straight to the root growth. This product is available at your local hardware, home improvement or plumbing supply store. Most of the calls the Sewer Authority receives due to roots clogging laterals are in spring and fall. Those are the times of the year you want to treat.
GRANT APPLICATIONS: LPTSA has submitted two grant applications with the PA Small Water and Sewer Grant and one Grant application with the PA Department of Community and Economic Development Statewide Local Share Assessment Grant. The projects associated with this application were expected to be announced in late September to mid-November. At the time of this writing, no announcement was made.
The Sewer Authority wants our customers to know that our employees are always available during regular business hours by calling 610-539-6161 to address emergency situations. After hours emergencies, please call 1-888-831-7818. If you should have a backup in your outside line, contact us so that we can verify that it is not being caused by a blockage in our main line before you call a plumber.
Please see the back of your sewer bill for other important information.
Winter Salt Smart: Protect Your Driveway and the Environment
Road salt helps keep us safe in icy conditions but too much can harm local waterways, soil, and wildlife. Here's how to use salt effectively and responsibly. Use the right amount and remember, a little goes a long way.
You only need about a 12-ounce mug (like a coffee cup) of salt for a standard 20-foot driveway Shovel first, remove as much snow and ice as possible before applying salt. Salt works best on thin layers of ice, not snow.
Check the temperature - salt stops working below 15°F (-9°C). In colder temps, use sand for traction instead.
Avoid salting near plants or storm drains, salt runoff can damage vegetation and pollute streams. Sweep up any extra salt after a storm.
Try alternatives and look for eco-friendly deicers labeled “pet safe” or with calcium magnesium acetate (CMA), which is less harmful to plants and waterways. Small changes in how we de-ice can make a big difference for our environment!
Stormwater Management Winter
Here are tips for your property this winter:
Dispose of shoveled snow in vegetated areas to allow it to infiltrate instead of becoming runoff.
Use de-icing chemicals and salt sparingly. Make sure walkways and driveways are safe, but avoid spreading in vegetated areas of near waterways.
Make sure your nearest storm drains are clear. Don’t pile snow on storm drains.

Congratulations and Thank You!
On behalf of the Lower Providence Township Parks and Recreation Board and the residents of Lower Providence, we would like to congratulate Alea Nakhleh on earning the Gold Award, Girl Scouting's highest achievement, and completing her Gold Award project.
As a senior at Methacton High School and an active member of Girl Scout Troop 7288, Alea presented her Gold Award project to the Parks and Recreation Board in November 2024. She proposed the renovation of a bird identification display in Hoy Park. Her project was approved by the Park Board, and she completed the renovation of the display in August of 2025, working closely with the Indianhead Watershed Association.
We appreciate that Alea chose our Township to be the recipient of her project - the new bird display looks amazing. Thank you Alea for helping to educate visitors to Hoy Park!
Putting Plans Into Action
