Bloom Township provides snow removal for disabled residents. The season runs from November to March and snow is removed by an independent contractor, hired by Bloom Township, after a 3-inch snowfall. This program does not include any salt spreading or other chemicals to remove ice. Service is based on the removal of snow from the driveway. Properties without an attached garage require a pathway to be cleared from the house to the driveway or garage (whichever is deemed more feasible). This will be done for a $5 fee. For payment of fees and co-pays, a monthly bill will be sent to the resident.
