Winter appears to be on its way. The following items are very helpful to the DPW:

· Please do not park on the street during winter storms.

· Remove all portable basketball and sports apparatus off streets.

· It is very helpful if you put up markers along your property line to assist us in preventing any lawn damage.

· If you have a private contractor removing snow on your property make sure they do not deposit it in the public way.

· Check the town website for any snow updates.
