Please read below inforamtion regarding "Burn Bans". Thank you!

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING OPEN BURNING IN THE TOWNSHIP
Spring is brush fire season in our region. Area fields are full of dry crop residue, wooded areas are covered in dry leaves and yards haven’t turned green yet. The mixture of low humidity, high winds and plenty of available items on the ground to burn can make for a very dangerous situation. The Township monitors weather conditions daily and may place a temporary restriction on burning until conditions improve. Please be aware that while Spring is historically the most common time of year for burn bans, they can be enacted at any time as a result of drought or other weather related events.

Burn bans are enacted every time a Fire Danger Weather Related Warning is issued for our area by the National Weather Service. These notices include the following:

-Fire Weather Watch
-Enhanced Threats for Fire Spread
-Red Flag Warnings
Burn bans apply to all open fires! For more information regarding regulations for burning including acceptable items to burn, hours of burning, setbacks, etc. please review the Township’s Burn Ordinance.
Ways that you can find out if a burn ban is in effect:

-Contact the Lehigh County 911 Center, Non-emergency # 610-437-5252
(Note: Per Twp. Ord. All open burns must be reported to the County 911 Center via this #)
-Contact the Township office at 610-285-6660 during normal business hours

-Sign-up for weather alerts from the National Weather Service. If an alert is issued related to fire weather in our Township then open burning is prohibited during the times specified in the alert.

The Township has been selected this year for inclusion in a Target Radon Survey campaign run by DEP's Bureau of Radiation Protection. This was made possible due to an awarded grant to the American Lung Association in Pennsylvania. Please click below for the letter sent out to Weisenberg Township residents. HERE

The Township will once again hold a recycling day at the Weisenberg Volunteer Fire Department on April 8th from 9am to 11am or until the truck is full. Please click below for the flyer. HERE

No one likes to see trash along the road or in their yards. Additionally debris falling or tossed from vehicles create traffic hazards and are dangerous.

Please help prevent this by taking a couple of extra minutes to secure your loads. Whether you’re hauling trash, yard waste or just forgot that you have something loose in your pickup truck bed or trailer these items routinely end up along our roads. Please chip in and help keep our community clean & safe.

We are pleased to announce that Weisenberg Township has received a Multimodal Transportation Grant for the construction of phase 2 of our multi-purpose trail project. Special thank you to Senator Pat Browne & Representative Gary Day for their assistance with securing this grant.

Construction on phase 1 of the trail is expected to start later this year. Phase 1 work includes upgrading the existing gavel trail along Golden Key Rd. from Waste Management to the Weisenberg Fire Station to asphalt & construction of a new asphalt trail around the Weisenberg Athletic Fields.

Phase 2 will connect the athletic field trails to the existing sidewalk of Weisenberg Elementary school via a crosswalk.
