As spring gets closer, our annual oak leaf shed is underway. In an effort to keep these leaves out of our stormwater pipes and ponds, SIPOA will be working to collect these leaves.

Beginning Monday, March 16th, SIPOA will temporarily discontinue leaf blowing activities. Instead, street sweepers will be utilized to collect leaves from the roadways.

A picture of the street sweeper is shown below. Leaf collection will be carried out for a period of 5 weeks and will end on April 17th.

Last year, we were able to collect approximately 250 cubic yards of leaf debris from our roadways! The street sweeper cannot remove any leaves that are more than 6″ deep, and piling leaves on the roadways is not encouraged.

Thank you for your patience with leaf debris on the road as we work to keep our stormwater system functioning at its best.
