Milford Declares Snow Emergency

Written by Mayor Ben Blake,

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch with a forecast of snow starting Wednesday evening and continuing through Thursday. With heavy snow accumulations, driving conditions will be dangerous. Residents are asked to stay off public roads and limit travel.

As the City prepares for this storm, a snow emergency has been declared. Off-street parking should be utilized whenever possible and in areas where it is necessary to park in the road, Alternate Side of the Street Parking will be in effect beginning at 5:00pm Wednesday evening and continuing until 5:00am on Friday, December 18th.

It is especially important for shoreline residents to be vigilant. With the chance of flooding in areas of low elevation, please be sure to take all necessary precautions, including moving vehicles to higher ground.

Garbage and Recycling pickup for Thursday, December 17th has been moved-up and rescheduled to Wednesday, December 16th. Impacted residents are asked to place totes at the curb prior to the 6:00am pickup on Wednesday.

Residents are also reminded that they are responsible for shoveling snow and ice from their sidewalks and property, including fire hydrants.

Thank you for your patience as City plow crews clear our streets. Please be safe.
