State of Emergency Lifted In Salisbury

State of Emergency Lifted

Salisbury -- Effective 10:00 a.m. Sunday, 1/8/2017, Mayor Jake Day has lifted the State of Emergency in the City of Salisbury.

Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing until Tuesday, and road crews will continue to work throughout the next couple of days. Residents are urged to remain cautious in their travels.

Additionally, citizens are reminded that all property owners adjacent to any street within City limits are responsible for the removal of snow from their sidewalks. The snow must be removed for the entire length of the property for a width of four (4) feet. The removal must take place within six (6) hours after the snow has stopped falling. If snowfall ends between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 a.m., then snow removal must occur before 2 p.m. The purpose of this ordinance is to provide the ability for our residents and visitors to move freely and safely throughout the City. The property owner is liable for any accidents which may occur as a result of un-cleared sidewalks. Please help us make the City of Salisbury safe during severe weather conditions.

Emergency contact information for Salisbury Public Works during business hours from 8:00 to 4:30 is 410-548-3177. For service calls after hours please contact the Salisbury Police Department at 410-548-3165.
