************************************************************************************

REMINDER that it is ILLEGAL to plow snow from your driveway/shoulder of the road across the road and leave it on the shoulder of the road. If you must plow snow across the road, please don’t leave a hazardous situation in the road but push it past the right of way. The snow piled up will freeze and cause problems for the plow drivers as well as other vehicles that may hit it.

In cooperation with garbage pick-up companies, we ask that you please keep your garbage cans far enough off the road edge so that they don't accidentially get tipped over from the snow thrown by the plows.  Neither the garbage company or road commission is responsible for picking up your trash should it be tipped over.
