SNOW EMERGENCY DECLARED

A snow emergency declaration has been made by Lititz Borough Mayor George. The Snow Emergency goes into effect on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 2:00 pm. This means that all vehicles parked along designated snow emergency routes (see map) must be moved from the street no later than Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 8:00 pm. This allows Public Works and emergency services to operate safely and efficiently. There are approximately 350 parking spaces available to the public at four different parking lots (see map). The snow emergency declaration will remain in full force and effect until further notice. The Mayor will provide notification of the date and time when the emergency is over, once that is decided.
