Dear Citizens of Norwood,

I want to give you an update on the treatment our streets. We made progress on the snow yesterday, and I’m sure you are all aware that between 3:00 pm. And 6:00 p.m. yesterday, we were hit with extremely heavy snowfall followed by an extreme drop in temperature. With the sun out today, the street conditions see to be improving.

At this time, we have two trucks broken down. One truck is utilized for dead-end streets and should be back on the road in the next two hours. We also have one large truck that has more serious problems and probably won’t be repaired today and will probably have to go to the dealership.

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Thomas F. Williams, Mayor
City of Norwood
