Town crews have completed the fall cycle of right-of-way mowing and ditch clearing on town-maintained streets. Clearing ditches and culverts helps rainwater drain properly and reduces standing water during heavy storms.
Residents are reminded not to place yard debris, limbs, or grass clippings in ditches or drainage culverts. To report a blocked culvert, contact City Hall.
