The Department of Public Works has shifted its main focus to snow removal and drainage issues throughout town for the remainder of this week. Given the amount of snow that we have everywhere and the predicted rainfall coming our way at the end of this week, we will do our best to clean and clear the catch basins in the areas that are particularly prone to street flooding.
Early forecasts predict that we can expect 2-4 inches of rain between Friday and Saturday although that may change as the time draws closer. Nevertheless, warmer temperatures and any amount of significant rain will cause a rapid snow melt and will most likely lead to surface flooding.
You can help with our efforts, if you have a catch basin in front of your property and you have the ability, please take a moment to clear the cover so that any run-off can enter the drainage system.
The process to pick up Christmas trees will continue as time allows and we will make sure that we get everyone's trees before we're done collecting them. If your tree has not been picked up yet, please be patient, we will get to it. There is no need to call our office to let us know that your tree is still in your front yard, we are doing our best to address each and every issue that we face as quickly and efficiently as possible. Any resident that desires can bring their Christmas tree to the DPW barn at 9 Nantasket Ave and leave it for disposal.
Thank you to everyone for your patience, understanding and cooperation...
