Gutter guards in Lititz
From the old houses around the Moravian church square to the newer streets of Warwick Township.
Lititz is a borough of about 9,400 people, according to the 2020 census, founded in 1756 by members of the Moravian Church. Its historic center around the church and Linden Hall is listed as the Lititz Moravian Historic District, and Lititz Run starts in Lititz Springs Park and flows through downtown toward the Conestoga River. Warwick and Elizabeth townships surround the borough and share the Warwick School District.
What gutter problems are common in Lititz?
Two kinds of houses, two kinds of problems. In the borough's older blocks, houses are close together with mature trees, old gutters and downspouts that have nowhere to go but a sidewalk or a small yard. In the subdivisions of Warwick Township, it's two-story houses with long runs, roof valleys and builder-grade gutters that overflow in storms.
Why does Warwick Township talk about downspouts?
Because of the ground. Warwick Township says sinkholes are common in Lancaster County because of its limestone soil, that heavy rain and runoff make them worse by flushing soil down the hole, and that water from rain spouts may need to be redirected to stop feeding a sinkhole. It also asks owners to check for storm drainage easements before landscaping, fencing or adding sheds.
