Council to convene multi‑agency meeting to coordinate snow plowing and storm‑drain responsibility
Summary
Public‑works staff announced a planned coordination meeting with all parties that plow in town to assign street responsibilities and storm‑drain ownership maps after recent heavy snowfall exposed gaps in responsibility.
Public‑works staff told the council they will convene a meeting next week of every organization that plows in town to assign clear responsibilities and avoid repeated confusion after large snow events.
"We're gonna have this meeting next week with all these people involved, and everybody's getting maps of the town with street names and all the storage drains throughout the entire town of Bath," the public‑works official said, describing plans to define who is responsible for which streets and drains. The speaker noted the town, state DOH, private landscaping contractors and courthouse crews each do portions of the work and that assignment clarity should reduce piled‑up snow in some parking areas.
Officials said this is the first time in decades that all plowing parties will meet to create a definitive responsibility map and that the town crew will continue cleanup; councilors also discussed related paving repairs that have been uncovered while clearing snow.
