  Snow Removal

  Streets:  The Town contracts with a snow plowing service.  Plowing will be provided when the snowfall exceeds four inches.  The State and Montgomery County  plow and salt Route 108 and Brink/Sundown Road. By parking your vehicles off-street during snow storms will allow the plow crews to completely plow the streets.

Sidewalks:  Those residents and business with abutting sidewalks are responsible for keeping them litter free and for removing snow within twenty-four hours following the end of a snowfall.  Arrangements can be made through the Town for residents needing assistance in snow removal.  Sidewalk problems should be reported to the Clerk.

 If you notice a street light that is out, please look for a metal strip on the pole that has the pole number and  report location of the street light  to the Clerk.  If the pole doesn't have a pole number,  just report the location of the street light to the town clerk.
