Six trunks with snowplows are used for this purpose. Two of the trucks are equipped with spreaders to distribute salt on icy roads. Snow must be cleared from your sidewalk promptly. Do NOT force pedestrians and children to walk on the street. Please remove vehicles from the streets where possible to facilitate snow plowing.
Some streets prohibit parking when accumulations occur.
Parks and Playgrounds Eight playgrounds, nine ball fields and three parks and play equipment are maintained on a daily basis, with the major emphasis being directed toward the summer months. The Department maintains 61 miles of storm and sanitary sewers and two sewage-pumping stations. Storm basins and lines are cleaned periodically as preventative maintenance or as required. During rain and snowstorms, catch basin inlets are kept clear of leaves and debris to insure optimum performance of the drainage system. In the event of sewer backup into your home, call the Department of Public Work first.
