Public Works

The Public Works Department maintains the township roads and parks in Upper Providence. With a budget of more than $4,000,000 and 85 miles of roads to maintain, the 13 member department stays busy keeping up with road repair, mowing and planting parkland, as well as being on-call 24/ 7 when snow and bad weather hits.

Call Before You Dig

When you break ground, be sure to avoid disturbing underground utilities. Call Pennsylvania’s One Call System hotline (811 or 800-242-1776) three working days before you dig on your property. It's the law!
