STORM CLEANUP UPDATE

The Town continues to make progress on storm cleanup throughout the community. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work to address the remaining debris.

Grappler Truck: The rental period for the grappler truck will end on September 12. Following September 12, the Town will transition to other cleanup efforts.

Much of the remaining larger debris may not be able to be picked up by the Town. In many locations, debris is located in downed utility lines, or utility lines are positioned above the debris. These conditions make it unsafe or impossible for the large grapple truck to safely access and remove the material.

Brush Pickup & Chipping: After the grappler truck rental ends, Public Works employees will continue picking up smaller piles of brush and chipping them as part of the ongoing cleanup effort.

18-Inch Chipper: The Town will be renting an 18-inch chipper for one month to help continue removing and processing storm debris.

Town Property & Remaining Trees: The Town Council will continue exploring solutions for clearing downed and damaged trees on Town property, including the area on Westport and other locations throughout Town.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work together to get Burns Harbor cleaned up following the storm.
