Waste In Our Community
Someone is dumping waste in various locations within the
community. There is waste
piled up on
the point and in the outer part of the Subdivision.
We should be showing pride in our community not reflecting
on it poorly.
The town now has to look into how they are going to clean up
this mess. This will be
an added
expense this community should not have to incur. The
waste dumped may
lead to wild animals entering our community; which leads to an
unsafe environment for
everyone from both the garbage and wild animals.
The Long Range Waste Management Site is open to the public
on Wednesdays
and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for your dumping
needs.
It is illegal to dump in a non-certified site. If you or someone you know have information
a
bout the dumping of waste please contact the town office at 243-2564.
Emergency Preparedness
We would
like to remind the residents of Parsons Pond to be prepared for adverse
weather. Here are a
few simple tips to
help you prepare for this time of year:
·
Watch
for warnings and advisories
·
Follow
local weather forecasts
·
Prepare
and maintain an emergency kit-be ready to cope on your own for at least 72
hours
·
Develop
an emergency plan, remember the specific requirements of pets or any person in
your household
with a medical condition, mobility issues, or other specific
needs
·
Be
aware of all local emergency numbers
·
Understand
your insurance policy
·
Ensure
sump pumps are in working order
·
Keep
all household drains free from debris
·
Secure
patio furniture, yard tools, or playground equipment, and remove dead trees and
branches which
may be affected by heavy winds
·
Consider
installing a hard-lined phone in your residence as cordless phones will not
work in a power outage
·
Do
not touch or attempt to move downed power lines; advise your utility provider
immediately instead
·
If
you become aware of flooding on streets or observe areas where culvers are
blocked, contact municipal officials to advise them of the situation as soon as
possible.
