Welcome to Dickinson Township

Dickinson Township is located in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Its history revolves around farms, the schools, churches, mills, stores, blacksmith shops and the businesses that supplied them as well as the industries of the mountains which developed the natural resources of wood, iron ore, sand, clay and phosphorous.

NOTICE: The Township Road crew will be grading along several roads during the summer of 2019. The grading will generate multiple truck loads of soil and road side material. Residents may contact the Township if they wish to receive any loads. The sight must be accessible for a heavy truck and must be near the general location of the grading work.

The Dickinson Township Board of Supervisors would like to Thank all of the Residents that attended the Board meeting on Monday July 15, 2019. The residents provided valued information on their concerns of the use of Food Processing Residuals (FPRs). The Board would also like to thank Mr. Jones for attending and providing clarification on his operation. Thank you all for your time and efforts.

SEPTIC SYSTEM/PUMPING INSPECTION REMINDER

The Dickinson Township staff will forward reminders at the end of September to residents requiring septic pumping. To avoid a rush on the contractors in the area, the community is reminded of the requirement for every owner of an individual sewage system to have septage or other solids removed from the treatment tank at least once every three years. Proof of pumping and/or inspection shall be provided by the owner of the individual system within 30 days of the date of service to the Township. For more information, forms, and a list of septic haulers, please see the Sewage Enforcement section of the website.

CD copies of the Comprehensive Plan are available at the Township building.
