MANITOWOC COUNTY RURAL STORM DAMAGE
CLEANUP RE-SCH
EDULED
The “Rural Storm Damage Cleanup” scheduled for Saturday, May 20th
has been postponed due to inclement weather.
The cleanup has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 23rd at 9:00
a.m. Those interested in assisting
with the cleanup must register and obtain a permit to be displayed at all times.
Registration will be at the Liberty Town Hall, 13812 English Lake Road,
Valders. All volunteers should dress with safety in mind wearing heavy
full-length pants, sturdy work boots, and heavy leather gloves.
Bring a bag lunch and water. If
possible, each crew should have one cell phone for emergencies.
After registering, the volunteers will form crews and receive
instructions. All volunteers are
urged to be extra careful with the sharp steel and debris they will encounter. Crews will be dispatched and are asked to use their own
transportation to the assigned sections. At
those locations, there will be hay racks and farm tractors to move the debris
from the fields to the road right-of-way where it will be unloaded as required
and then picked up later by Manitowoc County Highway crews.
Land owners with debris in their fields should call either the Manitowoc
County UW-Extension Office at 683-4170 or the Manitowoc County Soil & Water
Department at 683-4183 to indicate whether they want assistance with cleanup.
Please call one of the numbers listed above if you have questions.
People wishing to volunteer equipment are asked to contact the Extension
Office by Monday, May 22nd at noon.
After assignments are completed, individuals will be asked to drop
equipment off at the proper location Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning by 9:00
a.m. Please do not bring wagons or
tractors to the volunteer registration area.
Volunteers with questions may call the Manitowoc County UW-Extension
Office at 920-683-4170 or the Manitowoc County Soil & Water Department at
920-683-4183 for additional information.
