General Questions
Manor Township Municipal allows Comcast to operate within the Township’s limits and therefore Comcast puts our phone number on their bills to you (seemingly very close to the information stating where to call with questions!) However, we do not have access to billing information. Their number is 1-800-266-2278.
We do not get involved in landlord-tenant issues, however you can call the Lancaster Housing Opportunity Partnership and they will point you in a helpful direction. Their number is 717-291-9945.

In short, the answer is no. The ordinance states that no fences or walls shall be erected to a height of more than 3’ in the front yard and no more than the height of 6’ in any other yard, must be out of the right-of-way, and within an agricultural, rural or residential zone. No electric fence shall be permitted on a principal residential lot, unless the residence is part of a farm. Please see ordinance for full details.

There are four drop-off locations in Manor Township – Charlestown, Greider, Washington Boro and Creswell parks. There is no service charge and you are able to start dropping off on December 26th. The program runs until mid-January. To place your tree at one of these locations, they must be free of ornaments, lights and tinsel. You are also required to remove plastic bags as well as covers and dispose of them properly.
Each storm will dictate how plowing is implemented and what adjustments need made. At the start of a storm, all trucks are sent out to their assigned areas to spread salt and anti-skid material. We generally start plowing after 2” of accumulation.
