The Plain Township Road Department serves the Township by contributing to residents' safety on all Township roads throughout the year, including times of inclement weather. The Road Department maintains the Township's yard recycling program, leaf drop off, and storm damage control. It accepts all requests for drainage and flooding problems throughout the Township, assures all traffic signs are maintained in a timely fashion, and is available 24 hours a day for emergencies. Plain Township now does a majority of projects in house as pictured above instead of outsourcing that has saved our residents $100's of thousands of dollars annually.
