Caernarvon Township Police
Department:
Just a reminder to our
residents and visitors to Caernarvon
Township. There is no parking
on the side of the roadway on Main
Street (SR23) between Fourth Avenue
and Twin Valley Road. This is
especially important in the area of
Twin Valley Coffee (4000 block Main
St.). This is a heavily
travelled area with a high potential
for crashes. Both east and
west bound lanes of SR 23 are
clearly posted with signs stating
that there is no stopping or
standing in these areas.
Please find a legal parking location
and drive safe!
12/18/2019 - Greetings
Residents: Road Traffic Safety
- In preparation for inclement
weather this Season, please remember
to remove any structures or vehicles
that are in the Township's Right of
Way. If you have any questions
about Township Right of Way rules,
please feel free to contact the
Township Office at 610-286-1010.
Thank you!
10/31/2019 - A Message from
the Caernarvon Township Roadmaster:
Heavy rains, wind, and prime
leaf dropping time = flooding of
streets along with on and around
your property. Check drains
near your home and help clear them
of leaves and debris. It might
be the Township Road Crew/PennDot's
job, but help them out.
Residents safety is a #1 concern,
that is why Maintenance crews spend
days cleaning these drains prior to
major weather events, but it is an
overwhelmingly amount of work.
To report flooded areas,
contact the Township Office at
610-286-1010 during regular business
hours. After hours contact the
Police non-emergency number at
610-286-1012. Thank you.
