From Haverford Township Office of Emergency Management:

Haverford Township residents: As of March 16, 2020, there are 76 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania, including 7 in Delaware County. More cases of COVID-19 are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more instances of community spread. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects that widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States will occur, and that most of the U.S. population will be exposed to this virus in the coming months.

Therefore, following guidance from Federal, State, and County officials, Haverford Township has declared a State of Emergency, effective Monday, March 16, 2020.

The Township Administration Building, CREC, Skatium, Library and historic structures will be closed to the public until at least March 30, 2020.

Township government will remain operational during this time. Residents may contact Township staff via telephone and email. Contact information is available on our website.

All trash, recycling and other essential public services will continue as scheduled. However, there will be no brush collection on Monday, March 23rd. Please do not place your brush at the curb on Monday, March 23rd, or we will be forced to collect it with the trash later in the week.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this unprecedented health emergency. Please recognize and respect the need for social distancing, and discourage children & adolescents from congregating in our parks and other public places.

We will continue to publish relevant information and links on the Township Website, Cable Access Channel, social media, and via our emergency notification system (known as Delco Alert). Please take a moment to sign up for emergency notifications from both the Township and the County. You can find the links on our website by clicking “Emergency Notifications” under “Resident Resources”.

Finally, we have cancelled all Haverford Township public meetings for the reminder of the month. We will continue to monitor this situation in the coming days. Please continue to check the Township Website, Cable Access Channel, social media, and emergency notification system for further announcements and updates.

As always please feel to contact me by email at cquinn@havtwp.org with any questions or concerns.
