DPW Snow Storm Tips

The Department of Public Works has listed some storm tips for a stress-free snow cleanup. Following these simple guidelines will help ensure snow and ice free roads and ample parking spaces after the storm.

  • The Public Works plow drivers must push all snow to the curb. As a result your driveway aprons are sure to be blocked by the pushed snow.
  • Please understand that we take no delight in doing this but again, we must push all snow to the curb.
  • Wherever possible, please remove all parked vehicles from the street.
  • During the storm the plows must keep all streets open for Police, Fire, Ambulances and OEM personnel.
  • The plows will be on every street – you must be patient.
  • Please remove all cars from designated Snow Emergency Streets to avoid being towed.
  • Do NOT blow or shovel snow into the street. This causes ice mounds that will survive long after the storm has passed.
  • Do NOT save your parking space with personal items or garbage cans.
  • Resident cooperation is essential!

Notice to Residents: Please Help Reduce Water Usage

Voluntary Water Usage Reduction

The City of Linden is asking all residents and businesses to voluntarily reduce water usage at this time. There is no need for alarm, and there is no emergency being declared. This is simply a precautionary step to ensure our water system continues operating at its highest level for everyone in our community.

By working together and being mindful of water use, the Linden community can make a positive impact and help maintain system stability.

Ways You Can Help:

  • Reduce shower time when possible
  • Run dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads
  • Limit outdoor water use (hoses, sprinklers, etc.)
  • Turn off faucets when not in active use

We truly appreciate your cooperation. Small efforts from all of us will go a long way in supporting Linden and preserving our shared resources.
