Harrisville City is asking for residents not to put snow back out in the street. Parked cars and other obstacles out in the road is impeding snow removal. Pile the snow so it will not encroach on the City streets. Contact the Harrisville City 8 ext. 1001 for further information. The City is asking for people to clear a 3-foot radius around the fire hydrants so the fire department can quickly take care of any fire needs. 

There is a need to beware of snow on the rooftops so that it not to get too deep and heavy for the structure. Also, clear the vents to your home. With more snow in the forecast, we need to be careful of the piling of snow and cleaning the sidewalks so that you can see backing out of driveways.
