Snow ordinance in Marion Heights
MARION HEIGHTS - Borough council reminds residents about ordinances as they pertains to snow and winter weather.

Also, due to the numerous complaints of inconsiderate plowers, council is working on a plow permit ordinance with a $25 fee, set to be enacted at the April meeting.
