Preventing Melt Water Damage

Spring is here and snow is melting fast. To prevent damage from melt water, home owners are encouraged take action to protect their own property.  Plan how to divert melt water away from buildings and keep that path clear. Sandbags can help direct water if needed. City crews will only be addressing melt water concerns on city property. More information on flood protection can be found on HERE.
