Happy Spring, Goffstown!

With spring comes the return of our annual contracted street sweeping program, and we heard some chatter from folks wondering why it's done. It’s more than just making streets look nice - street sweeping helps protect our streams, rivers, and lakes.
By removing trash, leaves, and pollutants before rain washes them into storm drains, we’re stopping pollution at the source. Annual sweeping is required under the Town's MS4 Stormwater Permit under the Clean Water Act.

Cleaner streets → Cleaner water → Healthier communities

For more info about our stormwater permit and Goffstown water quality, check out our Stormwater and MS4 page:

Just a friendly reminder that it's against local regulation to place, plow, or throw snow onto the traveled portion of town roads. Similarly, it's a violation of RSA 236:20 to do this on state-maintained sections of 114 and 13. Doing so can incur liability for any accidents, as well as possible fines.

For Town Roads: https://www.goffstownnh.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5626/No-Throwing-Ice-into-Streets-Penalty-Amended-1990?bidId=

For State Roads:

(236:20 allows pushing snow across state roads, the Town ordinance does not)
