Street Light Outages: For Pepco lights, please report light pole number (usually on metal strip on pole) to the Clerk. Should the light be a Town lamp, simply report the location to the Clerk.

Snow Removal: The Town contracts with a snow plowing service for North, South, Water and Church Streets. Plowing will be provided where the snowfall exceeds four inches. The State Highway Administration plows and salts Georgia Avenue - the Town's High Street and west Market Street and the County does the same for east Market Street where it transitions from Brighton Dam Road.

Sidewalks: Those residents and businesses with abutting sidewalks are responsible for keeping them litter free and for removing snow within twenty-four hours following the end of a snowfall. Arrangements can be made through the Town for residents needing assistance in snow removal. Sidewalk problems should be reported to the Clerk.
