IMPORTANT: Construction and Garbage Updates
9/17/2024
Water Main Replacement: While Easton continues its work on 1st Street East, it plans to begin digging up curb stops on 1st Street West as soon as Thursday. This means there will be partial or full closures on this street until the work is complete. Since street access to your property could be intermittently blocked during construction, please be prepared to access your property from the alley if needed. Beginning next week, Easton will begin digging up curb stops on 2nd Street West, so alley access may be required there as well from time to time. Residents on the WEST side of 2nd Street West, who do not have an alley, may need to enter and exit their property via their backyards if street access is blocked by construction. This is admittedly an inconvenience for those residents, so we especially appreciate your understanding and expect that these interruptions will be very temporary.
Paving on Railroad Avenue: Wharton Asphalt has begun repairing Railroad Ave. between Main Street and 1st Street East and expects the job to last a couple of days. During that time, Railroad Ave. will be closed between Main Street and 2nd Street East.
Garbage Pick-up: You can set out your garbage totes in their normal locations while construction is underway, and G&G has been informed that this will be the case. If you are so inclined, you may move your totes to the nearest east-west street (Royal Ave., Elk Ave., Antelope Ave., or Railroad Ave.) to make collection a bit easier. With all the work going on, it is understandable that an occasional pick-up might be missed. If that happens, please call the Town Office at (406) 773-5634 right away so that we can collect your garbage as soon as possible.
