Fire lanes aren't just for fire trucks – in case of any kind of emergency, a FIRE LANE sign is meant to allow room for police, ambulances

and, yes, firemen to gain easy access to property. These parking spots are generally

in convenient places near entrances and exits, exactly where people are most likely to want to park. However, these lanes are not to be

used at all. Even if you are waiting on someone and setting in the car.

Please stay out of the fire lanes.

W i n t e r A n i ma l C a r e During extreme cold weather, keep your pets indoors.

If for some reason your dog is outdoors most of the day,

he or she must be protected by a dry, draft-free shelter that

is large enough to allow the dog to sit and lie down

comfortably but small enough to hold in body heat. The

doorway should be covered with waterproof burlap or

heavy plastic. The floor should be raised a few inches off

the ground and covered with cedar shavings or straw.

Pets that spend a lot of time outdoors need more food in

the winter because keeping warm depletes energy.

Routinely check the water dish to make certain the water

is fresh and unfrozen. Use plastic food and water bowls

so your pet’s tongue won’t stick and freeze to the metal

when the temperature is low.

Before the cold sets in: Familiarize yourself with areas of your

home most susceptible to freezing, such

as basements, crawl spaces, unheated

rooms and exterior walls.

Eliminate sources of cold air near water

lines by repairing broken windows,

insulating walls, closing off crawl spaces

and eliminating drafts around doors.

Turn off and fully drain sprinkler and

irrigation systems.

Protect your pipes by wrapping exposed

pipes with insulation.

Locate your in home main water shut-off

valve.

When temperatures are consistently at or below

freezing: Open cabinet doors to expose pipes to

warmer room temperatures.

Keep water moving through pipes by

allowing a small trickle of water to run.

Make sure the lid to your meter pit is

closed tightly.

Don’t shovel the snow from the top of the

meter pit lid….it acts as insulation.

If your pipes freeze: Shut off the water immediately at your

home main water shut-off valve.

Apply heat to the frozen pipe by warming

the air around it using a hair dryer, space

heater, or hot water.

Do not use a kerosene heater or open

flames to thaw pipes inside your home.

Once pipes have thawed, turn the water

back on slowly and check for leaks.

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over The Holiday Season is over but that doesn’t mean our law enforcement stops watching for drunk drivers! Drinking and

driving accounts for one-third of vehicle-related fatalities in the USA. According to NHTSA, 37,461 people were killed in motor

vehicle traffic crashes in 2016 and 28percent of those involved a driver having a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit of

.08. In every State, drunk driving is illegal, and the consequences can

prove deadly to you and those around you. If driving while impaired, you could be arrested or involved in a car crash,

potentially inuring or killing you, your passenger, or another road user.

The legal & financial costs of a DUI can be significant. You could face jail time, lose your license, higher insurance rates, attorney

fees, and more. On average, a DUI can set you back $10,000. Please, if you see someone who is about to drink and drive, take the keys away and make arrangements to get your friend home.

With the onset of freezing

temperatures, homeowners should take

simple steps to help prevent household

pipes from freezing. And protecting

your home against the cold helps save

on energy bills and safeguards your

plumbing against the threat of breaks.

Property owners are responsible for

maintenance of the water service line

from the curb to the house, as well as

any in-home piping. We encourage

residents to take the following

precautions to reduce the risk of

freezing and bursting pipes:
