chandler bridge meeting update
We had a successful meeting on March 25th regarding the Chandler Mill Bridge. Everyone was encouraged to give presentations, read letters and ask questions. We gained a lot of valuable input. Once the meeting is transcribed by the Court reporter it will be posted on the website. The next step will be a meeting with the Supervisors and the County Commissioners to better understand the County’s position. Further updates will be posted on the website.

soliciting notice
The Township has recently discovered that they cannot prohibit all soliciting as the Township Soliciting Ordinance reads. The Township can require solicitors to be registered and licensed by the State and they must register with the Township and provide proof that they are registered and licensed by the State prior to soliciting in the Township. The Township is in the process of revising the ordinance to reflect this requirement.
Residents are permitted to place signs at the entrance to their properties either at the driveway or on the mailboxes stating no soliciting. Anyone violating this and entering a property that is labeled no soliciting will be charged with trespassing. If a solicitor enters a property labeled no soliciting the resident must ask for their badge id and report it to the Police. If you live on a private road you can put a no soliciting sign at the entrance to the private road/development. Developments on public roads cannot put a no soliciting sign at the entrance; it will not be enforceable; you must place the sign at each residence.
state of emergency (special needs assistance)
If you are a person with special needs (including elderly or disabled) and would require assistance during a State of Emergency, please contact the Township office via email @ Kennett-twp@comcast.net or via phone 610-388-1300 x112. We will place you on a county list so that emergency providers are aware that you require assistance.
supervisor work sessions
Work sessions have been reinstated and will be held on the first Tuesday of each month from 6-7 pm.
alarm registration forms
Alarm registration forms are located under the "General Information" tab and can be accessed by clicking on "Forms." If you have an alarm system, please print out the form, fill it out and either mail it in to the township or drop it off at the Township Building. If you do not have an alarm system, you do not need to fill out a form.
burning permits
As of March 1, 2009, no more burning permits will be issued in response to the PA DEP requirements. This includes downed tree limbs, twigs and brush. All burning will be prohibited, except for Agricultural business with a permit. Ceremonial burning will be handled on a case basis. Trash haulers are expected to provide three curbside pickups a year; one each in Spring and Fall and the third in January for Christmas trees. Additionally, there will be a dumpster at the Township maintenance garage for residents who wish to dispose of this debris at other times.
