TORRINGTON STREET DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES START OF STREET SWEEPING
Street sweeping for the City of Torrington will begin on Monday, March 31, 2008 at 7:00AM. Residents are urged to sweep off sidewalks and lawns, being careful to eliminate all foreign objects such as sticks, large stones and branches that could damage the sweeper.
It is recommended that the sand not be swept into piles but left in windrow configuration.
We ask your cooperation in moving any cars parked on the street when the sweeper arrives, as each street will be swept once before any return trips to the same area.
Homeowners wishing to receive a load of sweepings from their neighborhood may contact the Street Department between 7:00AM and 3:00 PM to make a request.
Streets will be cleaned according to a geographic schedule but residents should be aware this process is time consuming because the sweepers must move slowly. Please do not call the Street Department to ask when your street will be swept.
The cooperation of all residents will help to make this process as efficient as possible.
Thank you.
