๐Ÿšง๐Ÿ‘ท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ Update on the sink hole in front of 198 Thompson Street. We evicted 6 to 8 corn snakes from the hole and placed a steel plate over the hole for tonight. We will be back tomorrow morning 6/12 8am to fix the issue. Be alert to the detail officers. There will be one lane open and we may end up detouring North bound traffic at River or Walnut Street.

After this long winter, as we clean up our yards, we want to share a few reminders regarding our brush chipping program and its intension.
The program was put in place to assist our residents with after storm clean up and for trimming trees that have grown too close to your home or around your yard. Not for the clearing of property or clearing of wooded areas next to your residence. We know brush piles canโ€™t be stacked perfectly but please stack your pile of brush neat as possible with butt end (cut end) towards the street.
As a reminder, we do not chip:
From companies hired to do work at your home.
The pile is not neatly stacked (no jig-saw puzzle piles).
Piles with just vines or briars with no hardwood (the chipper shoot gets clogged).
The branches or logs are too large (anything over 12โ€ in diameter is too large for our chipper).
Too short (log chunks under 3โ€™ long are unsafe and could jam the chipper barrel).
No root balls, railroad ties, or landscape timbers.
We do not have a set schedule for our chipper crew to go around town. If you would like this service, call our office to be placed on the list when the list is full; we send the crew out.
We continue to offer, bring your brush to us at the Highway Barn from 8 am- noon on the last Saturday of the month.

Ed will be chipping at the Barn this Saturday from 8 am until noon.

As a reminder, we cannot take Branches that are over 12" in diameter or less than 3 ft long as they cannot be fed safely into our chipper.

Here is the latest updated I received for Halifax 16โ€to 24โ€. I was still hoping Mother Nature was going to be nice to us, but it looks like we are in for a mess. Please stay off the roads during the storm. It would be helpful if everyone stayed off the roads after the storm to give a chance to clear the roads without traffic because a storm like this will be hard for the plow trucks to keep up with. As with other storms if thereโ€™s an emergency, we will be notified and weโ€™ll open the road up so emergency vehicles can get to the address. Stay safe!!
