If you have a storm drain or catch basin near your home, please be sure to monitor and use a rake to clear leaves, limbs, and debris from the area. Place leaves in your yard debris bin for easy removal and recycling. If you witness a problem on public property such as a potential tree fall, a hedge that restricts street visibility, or clogged storm drains, please contact Town Hall or the Building Dept. In the event of an emergency or large hazard such as a fallen traffic sign or downed tree blocking a roadway, please call 9-1-1.
