Update from Emergency Management Group: Clean Up, Showers and Shelters

By contributor,

Due to the October 29th snow storm the Town of Hopkinton experienced substantial tree damage throughout the town. There are many tree limbs, branches and whole trees down along the sides of the roads. DPW crews and subcontracted tree crews will begin full cleanup efforts on Tuesday November 1st. Depending on weather conditions we hope to complete this work in 2-3 weeks. We will not be cleaning up debris on private property.

In addition, the Hopkinton Emergency Management Group and the Hopkinton School District will be providing emergency showering facilities for the residents of Hopkinton who have been affected by the recent severe weather event. The showering facility has been established at the Hopkinton Middle School. Facilities access is through the entrance adjacent to the water tanks. Hours of operation will be from 6:00 pm and will operate until 9:00 pm starting on Tuesday, November 1. Residents taking advantage of the showering facility should bring their own towels and please expect potential delays in accessing the facility.

The Hopkinton Emergency Management Group is also collaborating on a regional emergency sheltering. Emergency sheltering is available on a regional basis for residents who need temporary housing as a result of our recent severe weather event. Please contact Fire Headquarters at 508-497-2325 if you and your family require this option.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.
