Andover Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, February 24.
Trash and Recycling
There will be no trash and recycling collection on Monday, and collection will be delayed by one day for the remainder of the week.
Other Advisories
Road conditions are expected to change quickly as the storm intensifies. Residents are strongly encouraged to stay off roadways when possible, and to give plows and other snow clearing equipment ample space to operate throughout the storm.
As you begin clearing snow, please help crews and emergency responders by clearing catch basins and fire hydrants near your property. Residents should also maintain clearance for all natural gas and other exhaust vents on their homes, and ensure vehicle tailpipes are clear of snow before starting and operating vehicles.
Given the potential for high winds and heavy snowfall, the Town is coordinating with National Grid regarding the possibility of power outages. If conditions warrant, the Town will share additional operational updates and information on available resources based on circumstances as they develop.
