This holiday season, please take a moment in preparation for the holiday season to consider some safety tips from The National Safety Council.   A holiday travel emergency kit in your car specially tailored to winter weather can be helpful. Careful attention to decoration planning such as use of ladders, candle use and safe placement of poisonous plants can potentially save the life of a family member or a pet.  Considering toy safety and age appropriate gift giving is also important. Please be safe as you enjoy this wonderful holiday season.  For further tips, please visit https://www.nsc.org/home-safety/tools-resources/seasonal-safety/winter/holiday

It seems winter weather has had a jump start this year with early snow fall and record low temperatures in November!  Now is the perfect time to check your mailbox and make sure that it is adequately secured to withstand heavy snow accumulations. The Village of Cayuga Heights Department of Public Works (DPW) is ready to respond to winter weather events with two large plow/dump trucks, two medium plow/dump trucks, one loader, and three pick-up trucks outfitted with plows.  The DPW and Village Police monitor forecasts and coordinate efforts to ensure appropriate resources are deployed to Village streets and sidewalks to keep them free of snow and ice.
