The City of Elizabethtown is asking citizens who are removing debris from their property to follow these steps to aid in clean up. “As the cleanup process begins from last Friday’s storms, I would ask that residents please be patient with our Public Works crews. They have been on the clock all weekend and will continue to work extra hours in the weeks to come to help them out. We were asking that everyone residing in the city who places brush along the roadway to be picked up to please make sure brush piles are manageable. Crews are unable to handle trees or limbs larger than 6 feet in length. Additionally, if you have brush cleared by a professional or have the ability to haul the debris away yourself, I would encourage you to do that as it may take city crews several weeks to pick everything up. Any city resident who decides to haul debris away themselves can take it to the multi-purpose storage facility located at 1600 Nicholas Street that facility is open Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. until 6 P.M. Again we want to thank everyone for their patience and also thank the Public Works crews for their hard work. They are truly unsung heroes, “ said Spokesperson Chris Denham.
As citizens are assessing property damage following the wind storms from Friday, local insurance agents offer these tips to assist in documenting damage for their insurance claim. “Assess the damage, notify your insurance company, take pictures, document everything if you have a contractor to come out. So if you have a tree down and you have to get that tree off of your property or a fence, keep those receipts and invoices. Make sure the contractor is usually going to keep notes, make sure you get that too. We want to reimburse you, but we have to have proof. Do anything to mitigate any further damage to your property and be patient,” shared Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance Agent Lindsey Alicna.
