WINTER WEATHER PREP: you can help keep everyone moving by stocking on de-icer and digging out that snow shovel TODAY - while we're working to train crew members, prepare snowplows and de-icing trucks, and even refresh our chainsaw skills so we can remove any fallen trees.

It's simple: make a plan to keep sidewalks near your home or business clear of ice and snow. Now is the time to find that snow shovel and buy de-icer.
If a winter storm hits, we will work to keep routes to hospitals, schools, and other essential community destinations open.
