Town Considering Sidewalk Repair Assistance for Storm Damage
The town council is exploring options to provide potential relief for residents who have experienced sidewalk damage due to fallen trees from recent storms. Residents are advised to report all storm damage to 211 and Public Works. The town anticipates making an announcement regarding potential assistance within two weeks. It is recommended that residents do not repair sidewalks before an official program is in place to be eligible for reimbursement, and to apply for permits for any repairs.
Resident Reports Severe Sewage Backup; Town to Inspect Manholes

The resident has had to hire private services for tree and root removal and is seeking town assistance for damaged sidewalks. The resident has two manholes at the start of their sewer stack that need cleaning before a plumber can address the internal drains, which are clogged with mud and toilet paper.
