Storm Ponds and Drain Inlets
The Town of Mount Airy currently maintains 28 storm ponds. They are under a mowing contract and all are mowed 6 times yearly. They are mowed in May, June, July, September, October and November.
The Town also has a drain inlet-cleaning program and we ask that residents not blow grass and leaves into the culvert inlets in town. This causes problems with the piping system with clogging. Ant resident witnessing anyone putting leaves or grass into the inlets please contact Town Hall with as much information as possible such a time and date and the name of the person responsible for putting leaves and grass into the inlets.
Snow Plowing
Every road in Mount Airy is an emergency snow route. The Town of Mount Airy plows all Town owned roads during winter storms. The Town currently has 11 plow trucks which each truck is assigned an area in Town. This is done so that the same driver is use to their assigned area and will know that area well enough for any hazards that exist in each area. The Town asks that residents not blow the snow from their sidewalks into the finished roads. No salt is applied to any roads until the roads in each development are completed from snow removal. This is done to ensure that the snow on your sidewalks contains no salt so that your grass will not be damaged. Please remove all vehicles from the roadway in the event of snow.
Lawn Mowing
Please make sure that your grass is cut regularly. Also, be sure to trim the grass that grows in the street between the curb and pavement that exists in front of your property. Do not leave any grass clippings in the street. Warnings will be given out if the grass height of your lawn reaches 12″ .
