🚧 NOTICE TO RESIDENTS: Upcoming Stormwater Pipe Inspections 🚧

📍 Townsend Village I & II
📅 Beginning Monday, November 9, 2026
⏳ Estimated Duration: 10 Days

As part of the Town of Townsend's larger Surface Water Management Project, contractors will be conducting video inspections of underground stormwater drainage pipes throughout Townsend Village I & II.

These inspections will help evaluate the condition of our existing stormwater infrastructure, identify potential concerns, and assist in planning future drainage improvements.

🚗 WE NEED YOUR COOPERATION!

To ensure contractors can safely and efficiently complete their work, we kindly ask residents to:

✅ Avoid parking over or blocking storm drain inlets and manhole covers.

✅ Keep areas surrounding stormwater infrastructure clear and accessible.

✅ Use caution around contractors and equipment working along neighborhood roadways.

⚠️ Please Note: Stormwater and sanitary sewer manholes can look very similar. We ask residents to avoid parking over ANY manhole covers during the inspection period.

We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as we continue working to improve the Town's stormwater drainage systems!

📞 Questions? Contact Townsend Town Hall at 302-378-8082.

Thank you for doing your part to keep Townsend moving forward! 💙
