Last nights high winds and the ongoing periods of heavy rain have taken a lot of leaves off the trees. Many of the leaves have made their way onto the grates of the area catch basins and caused some localized street flooding in low-lying areas of town.
The entire Public Works staff is out on the roads doing their best to clear any obstructions from the basins so that the water in the streets will subside.
Please be patient as we are doing the best we can to alleviate the situation.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

More Vandalism Means More Work by the DPW
Within the first few days, the box was damaged by vandals and repaired by the DPW.
This week, the DPW Parks crew took the box back to the DPW garage and made it a little stronger, changed the way that the box opens so it is more user friendly (and safer to open), secured the roof and made it more weather resistant by adding a shingled roof to it.
Hopefully this box will last since the Juniors did such a nice thing in building it originally.
On another note, one of the BRAND NEW, FRESHLY BUILT benches at the playground was vandalized again! Someone thought it would be a good idea to draw rude pictures on it. This was removed right away because the images were certainly not family or child friendly.
There was also a significant amount of names and writing done on the new play structure as well!
If you see anything that looks out of the ordinary, please contact the Hull Police right away and help us preserve and maintain the assets that the town works so hard to provide...

Bench Dedication Ceremony to Honor Fallen Marine
In honor of Corporal Christopher J. Orlando, USMC, a Memorial Bench Dedication Ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 7 at Hull Shore Drive Extension in Hull, Mass.
A competitive surfer and former South Shore Surf Camp Counselor and Instructor, the location was chosen as a symbol of the countless hours Orlando spent on the waters at Nantasket Beach.
Corporal Orlando, a flight crew chief, and 11 other Marines were killed on January 14, 2016 when two military helicopters crashed off the Hawaiian island of Oahu during a nighttime training flight. Corporal Orlando, of Hingham, was 23.
At the time of his passing, Corporal Orlando was assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463, Marine Aircraft Group 24, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, which was stationed at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
During his service, Corporal Orlando was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.
In addition to many members and friends of this Gold Star Family, several Federal, State, and Local Officials will be in attendance. The public is welcome to attend and show their support for a young man who served his country with honor, and like those that have gone before him, his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Freedom is never free, it comes with a price.
