Sand Bags Going Quickly - Bring Your Shovel

Sandbags are now available for public pickup. Residents will need to bring their own
shovel and will be responsible for loading their own sandbags into their vehicles. Residents
are asked to please limit themselves to 25 sandbags. Please only take what your family
needs.

Bags are going quickly in certain locations, it is advised that you bring large trash bags to fill in
the case that there are no bags at the sand location. Sand is being delivered to all locations
throughout the day today. Fertilizer and mulch bags are also effective alternatives in the case
that residents cannot get sandbags.
