STORM RECOVERY UPDATE: PARKWAY STUMP REMOVAL

Stump removal is underway for trees removed from public parkways following the August 11 storm. Stumps in front or back yards are NOT a part of this project. Because stump grinding requires different equipment, the crew may arrive after tree and limb removal has finished in your neighborhood.

Think a parkway stump was missed? Contact Dyer Public Works at 219-865-4222 or dpw@townofdyer.com with your address and the stump’s location so staff can check the work list.

We’ll share more information about restoring the areas where stumps are removed and any plans for replacement trees as those details are confirmed. If a standing parkway tree is leaning, damaged, or lifting a sidewalk, please report its location to Public Works for review.

Thank you for your patience as storm recovery continues.

STORM RECOVERY UPDATE — TOWN OF DYER

The Town of Dyer remains actively engaged in recovery efforts following the recent storm. Public Works employees, emergency personnel, contractors, utility crews, volunteers, and community partners continue working throughout our community. We appreciate our residents’ continued patience and cooperation.

IMPORTANT: STORM DEBRIS PICKUP DEADLINE

Residents should place all remaining storm-related tree limbs and debris at the curb as soon as possible.

Additional contracted assistance for storm-debris pickup will conclude on Monday, September 14. Please ensure your storm-related debris is at the curb before then so crews have the best opportunity to collect it while these additional resources remain available.

Keep all piles clear of parked vehicles, fire hydrants, electrical boxes, and other obstructions so large equipment can safely access them.
