Township DPW Responds to Weekend’s Storm | | |
This past weekend saw the first major storm of this winter season, and Township DPW (Department of Public Works) was up to the challenge. DPW ground staff began their work at 4:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 30, 2025, with five inches of snow accumulated by day's end.
The heavy, wet nature of the snow posed a bit of a challenge for DPW staff and equipment, but roads were cleared and crews were finished by 8:00 p.m. Workers returned on Monday, December 1, 2025, at 7:00am to clean up remnants and get ready for more snowy weather ahead.
Since Sunday, nearly 1000 gallons of fuel, over 150 tons (300,000 lbs.) of salt, and 300 gallons of liquid deicers were used to help keep our area clear. Thank You DPW!
If you have any questions or comments, please contact DPW at 248-594-2800 or Email.

One of the best deterrents to theft is a visible door camera. A door camera enhances home security by allowing residents to see and verify visitors before opening the door, reducing the risk of unwanted or dangerous encounters. It also provides a record of activity at the entrance, which can be useful for monitoring deliveries or suspicious behavior.
BTPD recommends that residents with video surveillance register it through the Extra Eyes Program. If an incident occurs at or near your residence or business, the Police Department may contact you and ask you to review your video system to see if there is any possible evidence. The Police Department will NOT have direct access to your system. Participation in this program is voluntary. If interested, please Fill Out a Form.
Additionally, the BTPD parking lot is an e-commerce safe exchange zone, monitored by security cameras 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Police Department lobby can also be used as a safe exchange zone. It is staffed by officers and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Any non-emergency questions? Please call 248-433-7755 or Email BTPD.
