Clean Alleys Make Safe Alleys (Video) - Every day, we enjoy the comfort of knowing our utilities, our modes of communication, and our ability to call 911 will be available when we need them. Clean alleys ensure a swift emergency response when needed. This is where utility companies and public safety need your help. Residents are responsible for cleaning and maintaining the alleys behind their homes, from the fence to the middle of the alley and adjacent sidewalks to the edge of the pavement. In the videos linked below, homeowners get a quick guide on the importance of maintaining their alleys.
