Crews are making great progress on the cleanup effort from the June 9 storm, but there is still work to be done. Our Parks Department has dedicated two crews of groundskeepers to removing damaged trees and those efforts have been supplemented with temporary workers and six contract crews who are working on cleanup. We anticipate this will take up to eight weeks to complete.

There are 17 people from the water, streets, and stormwater divisions collecting debris in the neighborhoods. Crews have almost caught up with what has been placed on the curb, but additional debris is still being put out daily. CWD was out last weekend and Public Works employees are planning to work an additional six hours this Saturday to continue debris collection. Staff estimates it could take a month to clear the remaining debris depending on whether residents continue to place tree limbs on the curb or have their contractors dispose of them.

The Town estimates that over 720 cubic yards of debris have already been collected. We really appreciate everyone's patience as we continue to focus on storm clean up efforts throughout town.
