Snow in Philadelphia

This info was sent from a town watch group regarding snow in the city:

The Philadelphia Fire Department asks that residents help clear snow and ice from fire hydrants, so they can be accessed in the event of fire.

The Philadelphia Water Department requests that citizens help clear ice and snow from storm drains in order to keep runoff flowing freely.

The Philadelphia Police Department reminds residents that it is illegal to shovel snow onto City streets after they have been plowed. 

In order to focus on snow removal, the Streets Department will not collect trash or recycling on Monday, December 21. There will be a one-day delay in collections for the rest of the week. Due to the Christmas holiday, Friday's collections will be made on Saturday.

Residents must refrain from parking their vehicles on snow emergency routes, so snow plows can clear the road.
