DPS Winter Warning

In anticipation of the expected extremely cold temperatures, the Town is advising residents, business owners and realtors who manage property to pay careful attention to keep areas, which have water pipes, heated and protected from outside air. This would include possibly insulating vulnerable pipes and otherwise keeping basement areas guarded from exposure to outside temperatures.

It should also be noted that in anticipation of seasonal snow, we ask residents to assist the Town by clearing snow from Hydrants and Catch Basin Drain Grates. These steps will allow proper access for Fire Fighting activities as well as allow for effective street drainage and minimize potential roadway puddling and freezing. We also ask that residents refrain from putting recycle bins or trash bags on the sidewalk as they impede sidewalk plow operations.
