The City of Booneville’s Gas & Water Department has issued a public service reminder to residents following recent winter storm cleanup. Officials ask residents to avoid stacking or piling tree limbs, branches, or debris over key utility areas.
Specifically, residents are asked not to cover water meters, water and sewer drains, or fire hydrants. Covering these areas can delay utility restoration, cause additional damage, or create safety hazards during cleanup operations, according to city officials.
The department also reminds residents not to mix garbage with bush debris. All piles should be separated to facilitate efficient cleanup. Residents are encouraged to relocate any piles blocking these critical spots if possible.
City crews are available on-site to address concerns or issues. Officials ask residents to notify crews directly to help speed recovery efforts. The department emphasizes cooperation and safety during the storm recovery process.
Booneville residents are urged to follow these guidelines to support a safer and faster storm cleanup. The city thanks residents for their cooperation during this time.
