ONGOING ROAD WORK FOR JOHNSON ROAD

German Township, along with the Clark County Engineers, are working on the drainage issues on your road. There will be digging/trenching along your road from 4444 to 4225. Some driveway culverts will be replaced.

     The primary function of the German Township Road Maintenance Department is routine road care, including maintenance, repair and snow removal of township roads.
     Road maintenance will also pick up residential brush.
     Most residents know the employees of the Road Maintenance Department as the individuals who brave the weather to remove ice and snow off neighborhood roads and streets. Streets are cleared on a priority basis and our drivers have a reputation for their fast and efficient service.
     The Township’s Street Paving and Repair Program strives for quality management of all township streets/roads through a rating system using detailed statistical analysis. Seasonal time restraints, budget and workload determine the number of streets to be completed annually.

Call 937-964-1661 with any questions or stop by the office located at 3940 Lawrenceville Dr., Springfield, Ohio 45504 (use the double-doors).

BRUSH REMOVAL
The German Township Maintenance Department provides, as a courtesy to German Township Residents, removal of residential trimming of brush or shrubs. This does not include the clearing of residential lots of trees, or for business use.  If you hire a tree service to cut down or trim trees on your lot, the tree service should remove your brush.

There is NO Commercial brush/mulch/tree/limb drop off allowed at the Township facilities. Township facilities are monitored by cameras.
If you have a commercial tree service company do any work on your property the Township cannot pick up the brush/mulch/tree/limbs.

Guidelines for brush pick up are as follows:

  • No larger than 4 inch diameter (our chipper does not allow for larger branches)
  • No logs, stumps, or root systems
  • Place brush along road right-of-way NOT in the roadway
  • Place cut edges toward the road in neat piles (this allows quick, safe clearing of the brush)
  • Call the Township Maintenance Garage at 937-964-1665 to leave your address for brush pickup

The Maintenance Department will pick up your brush when they are in your neighborhood. German Township does not provide old Christmas tree or leaf pickup. Please do not rake leaves or grass clippings into ditches or culverts, as this will block the flow of water.

If you have any questions please feel free to call Township Office, 937-964-1661, or the Maintenance Garage, 937-964-1665.
