The commissioners recently approved an ordinance restricting clothes lines to rear yards of properties.
And for good measure, residents cannot drape clothing or other laundered items on porch railings to dry.
“We had complaints about people drying clothes on railings in the front of their homes,” said township Manager Margaret Keegan.
The commissioners also approved an ordinance that will allow the township to go after property owners who are delinquent in sewer and rubbish fees. Under the ordinance, dubbed Neighborhood Blight Reclamation and Revitalization, the township can deny the issuance of permits and/or certificates of occupancy to delinquent property owners. The new statute also allows the township to place liens on the properties.
