For the past two weeks, we’ve had two crews working daily, and we’re continuing to dedicate additional resources to the cleanup. Three crews will be working through Friday to keep making progress.
The amount of debris has been significant, and we know there is still work to be done. Our crews are working hard and steadily making their way through Town.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as our Public Works team continues the cleanup. A huge thank you to our crews for their hard work and dedication!
