Portage tree limb pickup announcement

After this weekend, we will have a company coming in that is going to take over the process of picking up the remaining tree limbs across our city. This company will be working on limbs from sunup to sundown every day, seven days a week, until all the debris has been picked up. I will have more to say in detail by Monday when it comes to how this will run and will make sure information gets our in ways beyond just Facebook.

This move allows for fast finish to the cleanup and allows our Public Works Team to be able to return to other important areas.

As we head into the weekend, I will continue to post updates as I get them from NIPSCO as it comes to our city’s restoration numbers, as well as our city efforts. of serving our city.
