Pre-treating Streets

    Snow, slush, and rain are expected to arrive late tonight and continue into Saturday. Trucks will be deployed for pre-treatment on late on Friday, November 28th.

    • Please relocate vehicles off the streets, particularly on narrow roads and in cul-de-sacs.

    • If snowfall exceeds 2 inches, plow trucks will be dispatched to clear the streets.

    • If trucks cannot manage around parked cars, streets will not be able to be treated or plowed.

    We will continue to monitor the conditions and will salt and plow the streets as needed throughout Saturday into Sunday.

    Please help spread the word to neighbors.

    Thanks and stay safe and warm this weekend.

        Neighborhood Preservation: Not all extension cords are created equal. As the weather changes and we start preparing for our holiday decorations, it’s essential to choose the right extension cord to keep you and your house safe. Here are some tips to consider:

        • Load Capacity: Ensure the extension cord you select can handle the electrical load of the equipment you wish to power.

        • Condition Check: Inspect the cords for kinks and ensure the protective coating is intact.

        • Outdoor Use: If you plan to use the extension cord outside, confirm that it is rated for outdoor use.

        • Safety First: Keep the cord clear of walkways to prevent tripping hazards.

        • When in Doubt: Opt for a heavy-duty extension cord to safely manage the load.


        Neighborhood Safety: 

        • Always keep your doors secure: this includes windows, entry/exit doors, and car doors

        • Avoid leaving your vehicle running and unattended with the keys inside

        • If you're planning to be away for the holidays, consider submitting a vacation form to the police so they can monitor your home while you're gone. Forms can be filled out at city hall.
