With spring only a few days away, clean up continues in Schuylkill County from Winter Storm Stella as street crews are still plowing and removing snow, along with preparing for more snow in this weekend’s forecast.
Residents are being reminded to obey local parking bans and that shoveling snow into the street is illegal, according to Pottsville City Code. T
om Whitaker, Pottsville street department supervisor, said they are moving the snow up to the JFK Recreation Complex and residents are welcome to do the same.
Whitaker said the progress has been very slow due to the street department not using private contractors because the state did not declare a state of emergency.
Whitaker also said fire departments have been shoveling out hydrants in their wards and asked residents to make sure at least one hydrant is clear in their neighborhoods.
