DPW Welcomes Two New Employees

The Hull DPW recently hired two locals to join our crew. Both were properly initiated to the department by encountering snow, ice and rain events that kept them out all night long on two separate occasions. Both handled everything perfectly, professionally and without incident.

Please welcome Max Loughlin and Andrew Wohar if you see them around town, we're lucky to have found two guys of this caliber when we really needed them. Welcome to the DPW family!

February 12th Storm Preparedness

Everyone has seen the news and knows what we can expect locally, hopefully everyone is prepared and even more hopefully, this storm will pass us by without too many problems.

Once the snow does start coming down and later when it turns to rain and gets slippery, please do the right (and safe) thing and stay off the roads. Give the plow/sand trucks and the first responders the room they need to safely do their jobs.

Below is the latest information received from MEMA about the event. Like any forecast, this can shift with a change in wind speed or direction but please be prepared for anything and hope for the best.

Sandbags Are Now Out for Hull Residents

As promised, the Hull DPW has placed pallets of pre-filled sandbags around town to make it easier for Hull residents to prevent unwanted flood water from entering their homes.

Please be aware of the proper (and allowable) methods of preventing water from entering your homes by abiding by the Sandbag Guidance provided by the Conservation Commission,

The pallets are staged strategically throughout town to make it easier for residents to pick them up.
They are located:
          * to the left of the basketball courts on Atlantic Ave
          * along the fence on Salisbury Street (off George Washington Blvd) near the old VFW
          * at the entrance to the Hampton Circle playground
          * next to the Kenberma basketball courts on Kingsley Rd
          * in the dirt parking lot at N Street near Nantasket Ave
          * in the parking lot at the Saltwater Club
          * to the right of the Village Fire Station

Please take only what you need and leave the rest for other residents that may need some as well.

By taking and using these sandbags, you are acknowledging that you will do so based on the provided ConComm guidance.

As always, sandbags can also be picked up at the DPW Monday through Thursday from 7am until 4:15pm and Fridays from 7am until noon.
