Municipal Taxes
|
For all residents of this
Town, everyone should have received their 2016 Municipal Tax Bills. For
residents who pay their taxes, the town would like to thank you. It would not
be possible for the snow clearing to be done, or garbage collection ect.
without taxes being paid. For residents who are not paying or making any effort
to do so, there will be water cut off and any further action that need to be
done will be done. There are payment plans available which can be set up; there
is a debit terminal at the town office for anyone who wishes to pay their
Municipal Tax bills by Bank Card, Visa or MasterCard. Anyone paying their bill
online will also be able to make payments or pay in full within the comfort of
their homes. This option will be available April 2016. Payments can be set up
to suit ones budget and must be paid in full by October 31 of each year.
Snow Clearing
|
The snow clearing season is upon us, the town is asking all
residents to keep their vehicles of the roads that has to be plowed. Having
vehicles parked on roads make it difficult for the snow plow to properly do the
roads.
Come Home Year
|
This year is Come Home Year. The town is asking everyone to
do their part and beautify our town by painting sheds, cleaning up your
property, and everyone that is getting banners or any kind of advertising done
to display it proudly

Parsons Pond Water Dam
|
There are still reports that bikes are using the road leading
to the water dam. Bog water is eventually going to seep into the Towns water
supply and contaminate the water. It is illegal to operate a bike or any
motorized vehicle by the water dam. If you know of anyone using this road,
please contact the Town Council Office.
