SNOW PLOWING OF ROADWAYS
To aid the Public Works Department in clearing the streets, do not throw snow back into the street. Do not plow snow into the roadway. This will be strictly enforced.

Snow Plowing Operations may cause snow to be pushed and cover the apron of your driveway. Clearing the apron of your driveway is the responsibility of the property owner.  Any person(s) harassing any Township Employee will be charged with Harassment.

If you have any basketball nets curbside, please pull them away from the curb to avoid damage by the snowplows.


SNOW REMOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS
All property owners are required to clear snow from sidewalks within 24 hours of the end of the snow event. When possible, use grassy areas to pile snow.

FIRE HYDRANTS
Do not bury fire hydrants with snow. Those caught burying fire hydrants will be fined. It is asked that you assist Emergency Responders and clear snow away from the fire hydrant.

HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS
Please assist your neighbors by checking on the elderly or those in need. Help to keep exit doors from homes clear. With the expected wind, snow drift may pile up blocking the means of entrance or exit from a structure. Any elderly or disabled person(s) requiring assistance with snow removal should call the Nutley Police Department at (973) 284-4940.

WARMING CENTERS
If warranted because of a loss of electricity or a heating issue, the Department of Public Affairs will arrange to have a warming center available. Residents who will need to come to the warming center because of a power outage or loss of heat can call the Nutley Police Department at (973) 284-4940.

POWER OUTAGES
In the event of a Power Outage, please notify PSE&G directly by texting OUT to 4PSEG (47734), report it online, through the PSE&G app or call 1-800-436-PSEG (7734). PSE&G needs your account number to track outages and locations requiring restoration of power.

If you utilize a portable gasoline or diesel generator, the equipment should be used outside of your home or building and kept at least 20 feet away. These machines pose a fire hazard because of the fuels used to run them. They also can cause a carbon monoxide issue when used inside or too close to structures leading to possible death or serious injury.

MEDICATIONS REQUIRING REFRIGERATION
During a power outage, the Department of Public Affairs will assist residents with refrigeration needs for cold storage of medicines. If you have lost power and need assistance with storing medications, contact the Department of Public Affairs through the Police Department at (973) 284-4940.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Township of Nutley will continue to send updates as the situation warrants. Information will be posted on the Township web site www.nutleynj.org.
