Welcome to Foster Township

Modern-day Foster Township was first settled in 1824 by John Lines. In 1855, territory was taken from Dennison Township to create a new municipality in Luzerne County; the new territory was incorporated as a township in 1855. It is named after Asa L. Foster. At the time, coal mining and logging were the two major industries in Foster Township.

🔥 BURN BAN ðŸ”¥

NO BURNING OF ANY KIND WITHIN FOSTER TOWNSHIP

 *ATTENTION*

In addition to the one already in place in Foster Twp, Luzerne County has enacted a BURN BAN which takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 10 and ends at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 9.

The county ban supersedes any contradicting municipal ordinance.

Local and state police must enforce the ban.

Violations are a summary offense carrying a fine upon conviction of up to $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second offense and $300 for the third.

Open burning is defined as the outdoor ignition and subsequent burning of any combustible material — garbage, leaves, grass, twigs, litter, paper, vegetative matter involved with land clearing or any sort of debris — in a screened or unscreened burn barrel, fire ring or on the ground.

The use of propane or gas stoves, charcoal briquette grills or tobacco in any form is not covered under the state act and is permitted under careful observation.

 

 

 

 

Starting February 11th 2021, Foster Township residents will have 60 hours per week of police coverage by the White Haven Police Department!**
