Weymouth mayor asks for residents? help as storm cleanup continues

The mayor is asking residents to help shovel out catch basins and fire hydrants near their homes as town workers continue to dig out from last weekend?s massive blizzard.

Mayor Susan Kay said town DPW crews and contractors were still busy plowing streets, many of which still aren?t cleared. And with rain forecast for much of Monday and temperatures above freezing, she said clearing catch basins could help prevent flooding from the slushy mess.

?It?s turning into a whole lot of muck out there and one of our biggest concerns is catch basins and fire hydrants and making sure they?re cleared away,? she said. ?Anything (residents) can do to help out would be greatly appreciated.?

Kay said most main roads are at least passable, while many secondary roads are still covered in snow. The snow was so heavy that several plow vehicles broke down, further slowing the cleanup, Kay said.

The mayor said it will likely take several more days to finish the cleanup.
