It's going to take a while for the snow to disappear, but as the temperatures warm up the concern turns to flooding.  New Milford officials will be keeping an eye on street flooding and also how high the Housatonic River rises. 

Until that melting happens, area fire departments continue to ask residents that if there is a fire hydrant located on your property, to dig out a 3-foot radius around the hydrant.

Homeowners and businesses are also required in many municipalities to clear the sidewalk along their property.

In Danbury, City Councilman Paul Rotello praised the public works crews for their work this winter.  Rotello notes that at the first signs of snow flakes, smaller plow trucks have been out and keeping even dead-end streets clear.  He says they even found places to dump the snow.

Rotello also commended police for their efforts to get cars off the streets so plowing could happen during storms.  He says police went door to door, at least to his tenant's door, asking them to move their cars off the streets, rather than just towing vehicles.
