Hydrants: While digging out, many fire hydrants were buried in the snow. Please make sure the hydrant closest to your home or business is clear of snow and visible for our emergency responders.

Storm Inlets: Temperatures will be warming over the next few days and all that snowmelt will need someplace to go. Please make sure that the storm drain closest to your property is not blocked with snow and ice.
