e-gov to resident's households. This will allow users to download the skill of "Make it Moon" through their Google or Alexa app and then speak to their device to ask about events in Moon or report a problem.
This feature also allows users to find out when events are going on by asking questions such as "When is trick or treat?" or "What do I do with my tree limbs?" Also, it can be used like the e-gov service offered online through the municipality to report problems and ask questions.

The Public Works snow removal fleet will be working during the 2022-2023 season. To tackle snow and ice removal, Moon Township Public Works divides the town into 19 snow routes, covering approximately 173 miles of roads, 23 lane miles of State Roads, and 8 lane miles of County Roads. The department’s road clearing schedule goes off of priority. First, primary roads and bus routes are cleared. Then secondary roads and state and county roads are plowed, followed by subdivisions and cul-de-sacs. In addition to clearing Township roads, crews help to maintain Township facility parking lots.
Public Works coordinates with Moon Police and Moon Area School District to ensure public safety throughout the winter months. Moon Township Police Department monitors all road conditions during their routes and notifies the Public Works Departments of any late-night call-outs. The Public Works Operation Manager is in contact with the school superintendent for school delays, early dismissals, and ever-changing road conditions due to inclement weather.
As the Public Works Department prepares for the winter season, residents should be prepared too! Here are some tips for the upcoming winter season:
· Help snowplow drivers by staying 100 feet (5 car lengths) back so the driver can see you.
· Do not park on Township roads between 2 AM and 6 AM.
· Do not plow or shovel snow from driveways, parking lots, or sidewalks into the streets.
· To help reduce the amount of snow pushed by plows back into your driveway, pile snow near the road on the right side of the driveway.
· Place garbage and recycling containers back in the driveway entrance to avoid spilling. Questions about garbage collection should be directed to the Moon Township Municipal Authority at 412.264.4300.
· Residents with sidewalks are required to clear the sidewalks of snow.
· Remove any portable basketball hoops, hockey nets, or any other obstruction from public roadways and cul-de-sacs.
