More Storm Update

The Streets Division will maintain its regularly scheduled monthly collection of brush from the curb. This is a Friday brush collection week so residents with a Friday refuse/recycling collection should have their brush out to the curb today and we will collect it sometime this week.

We also have additional brush crews diverted from other facets working in Thursdays districts and then will work back into Wednesdays when they are completed in Thursdays area. When the Friday area is completed by the regular brush crews, those crews will work into the Monday district. All crews will then converge into the Tuesday area. Next week, the week of July 31st is a non-scheduled week for brush collection. As a result, all available crews will be working in storm related cleanup. We are hoping to have all storm related brush collected by the end of next week.

This storm was a citywide event and not just a storm that hit a few neighborhoods. It will take us some overtime to complete the task as I have authorized working 10 hour days to complete the task in the next two weeks. We also ask residents to be patient as we want to systematically go through the city in order to be more efficient and not jump around from area to area getting individual calls.
