Residents are reminded to remove out-side hoses to prevent freezing of outside

water lines.

All basketball hoops must be removed

from the edge of street.

No continuous parking on streets, espe-cially during snowstorms or your vehicle

will be towed.

Please do not throw snow in the streets, and if possible wait till we stop plowing to

shovel the end of your driveway.

Just a reminder that Friendly Village does not give any person or persons permission to ride any motorized rec-reational vehicles, i.e. but not limited to. Snowmobiles, ATV’S, scooters, or dirt bikes on our roadways and it is pro-

hibited under community guidelines.

Just a note there is some air in the wa-ter, this annoyance should dissipate

with time.
