Storm Drain and Street Gutter Maintenance

Never dispose of leaves, grass clippings, oil, or trash in the drainage system or in a location, such as a roadway, where debris could be swept into the system by storm water. Such actions may result in serious flooding during a storm. 

Street Sweeping

The town sweeps curb and gutter streets on the last Friday of each month. Street sweeping in residential areas begins at 7 a.m. and should be completed by noon. Non-residential areas are swept earlier. To ensure safety and effective sweeping:

  • Maintain a safe distance from the street-sweeping truck during operation.
  • Do not park vehicles on curb and gutter streets the last Friday morning of each month.
  • Do not place brush, leaves or other vegetation on streets with curbing.

A list of streets to be cleaned is available here. For more information, contact the Public Works supervisor by e-mail or by phone at 732-1270 Ext. 78.
