A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for our area from midnight tonight through 6 pm Wednesday.

We are expecting 4-8 inches of heavy, wet snow, and up to 1/3 inch of ice. Heavy snow and ice creates a significant risk of downed trees and power lines, and potential power outages. Prepare now for possible loss of power.

Due to a severe state-wide shortage of road salt, we cannot guarantee enough salt to treat secondary roads. Our priorities are the major arteries, and those roads leading to Valley Hospital. Therefore, we anticipate extremely hazardous driving conditions on most village streets.

The Office of Emergency Management urges all residents to stay off the roads tomorrow for your own safety. If possible, do not drive, stay indoors, and stay away from downed trees and power lines.

Help us by keeping sidewalks and fire hydrants free of ice and snow.

REAGARDING SANITATION: Wednesday, Bulk Pick up for February 5th on the West side is cancelled. In order to ensure the safety of our employees, please place your refuse containers at the end of your driveway before 6:00AM on Thursday, February 6th and Friday, February 7th. Sanitation for West Side and East Side February 6th and 7th will only be collected at the end of your driveway.

PSE&G Contact Number in Case of Power Outage

If you experience a power outage – be sure to contact PSE&G at 1-800-436-7734 to report the power outage.
