Please be prepared to give specific information such as exact location, cross streets, and a description of the problem. A clean-up and street sweep request will be forwarded to Public Works. If there is an auto accident or hazardous waste in the road, call 911. Again, be prepared to give specific information such as exact location, cross streets, and a description of the problem.

3. How often does the street sweeper run through the Town?

The main streets are swept on Friday mornings on a weekly basis throughout the year and twice weekly during spring and summer.

The Town's street sweeper is a regenerative air vacuum sweeper, which means that no dust is vented to the outside air. This creates a very efficient vacuum, resulting in less fines and materials being deposited in catchment basins.
