A couple said the Brothersvalley Township Supervisors are not being careful enough when plowing and have harmed their property.
The townshipâs solicitor said in a statement Monday that according to township code, supervisors use the road right-of-way to maintain the roads, including snow removal, and the municipality is not responsible for damage of items included within that right-of-way area.
Deborah and Marshall Bittner, who own a farm that runs along Sawmill Road in the township, said the supervisorsâ carelessness at their property line has been âongoing and we just want it stopped.â
The Bittners believe the reflective markers they have pushed into the edge of their land that runs adjacent to the township road were damaged by the supervisorsâ plow. The markers were splintered and chunks of mud was thrown into their driveway.
