The Borough Offices will be closed today. Only emergency personnel will be reporting. This includes Public Works. We realize that trash has been put out and the Public Works crews will do their best to collect trash today. However, we anticipate that much of Public Works time will be dedicated to keeping inlets and streams clear of debris as well as any other emergency issues that come up. If possible, please help by bringing your trash in. This may be a hazard if it is not collected before the high winds arrive. Trash will not be collected on Tuesday or Wednesday. Trash collection will resume per the normal schedule on Thursday. We appreciate everyone’s efforts to help keep the Borough clean and safe.
