After five or six inches fell in Clinton over the weekend, downed tree limbs provided quite a busy time for electric crews as power was lost all over the City throughout Sunday and into Monday.

As residents dig themselves out and get back to work after the holidays, picking up those tree limbs will be a part of their 'to do' lists over the coming weeks. With that in mind, Clinton City Administrator says City crews will be out to pick up that brush.

The City used to send crews around the community once a month even during the winter but a change a few years ago stopped those trips during the winter months and Follow indicates they would be reserved for after weather events like this past weekend in an emergency.

Sizeable limbs have fallen over the community and many are now frozen to the ground and even some are too large to move without reducing the size with mechanical machinery. Followell anticipates the rounds through the community will go into next week to allow residents plenty of time to get that brush to the curbs.

Followell reminds residents, the yard waste facility is still open. It is open Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3 pm to 5 pm and Saturdays from 8 am to noon and 1 pm to 5 pm.
