Cemetery Safety Concerns

Please keep in mind that due to safety concerns for our mowing crews, all shepherd hooks and hanging ornaments as of January 1st, 2017 had to be removed from the cemetery.

All the shepherd hooks and solar lights have been tagged with the plot information and retained.  If you would like your shepherd hook, please call (513)734-2384 to arrange a pick-up time and date.  The remaining shepherd hooks that are not picked up will be disposed of after 10/01/17.  As of October 1st, 2017, any newly placed hooks, poles, or other dangerous decorations will be removed and disposed of.

Thank you for adhering to this cemetery rule because the safety of our mowing crew is very important to us.

Free Inspection

All residents on Township roads that are considering upgrading your driveway with new blacktop or concrete should first call the Road & Maintenance Department. Many steel pipes eventually rust out which lets the pipe collapse, then water backs up, and onto the road. When this happens the pipe has to be dug up and replaced which means cutting the new blacktop or concrete.

Please call 513-734-2384 for a free culvert pipe inspection.  If the pipe has to be replaced we will have to cut the driveway so it is better to let us replace it BEFORE you buy new blacktop or concrete.

Remember on culvert pipe replacements, the homeowner buys the pipe and Tate Township supplies the labor and gravel.

Keep in mind that just about all driveways in the township have a pipe where the driveway goes over the ditch.  Many of these pipes are made of steel which can rust out and collapse.  The replacement pipe you will buy will be made of plastic and will not rust out.
