Q) Where can I pick up a recycling container?
A) You can obtain a recycling container at
the Public Works Department at 31 Pondside Road.
Q) Why are you digging up a street you just paved?
A) Before the Town paves a street, all
utilities are notified and given the opportunity to do any work
requiring excavation before the street is paved. After the Town paves a
street, no one is allowed to excavate in it for five years, except for
emergencies. Obviously, if a utility detects a gas or a water leak, we
want those leaks repaired immediately. In addition, if a business needs
additional water lines to expand or a homeowner needs to repair or
replace a sewer, they would receive a permit.
Q) Who do I call if a street light is out.
A) You can call the Public Works
Department at 567-3400. Please have information on location of light.
eg: house number, pole number, nearest intersection or cross street and
we will report it to WMECO. |
