You can help keep Abington's waterways clean by:
🐾 Picking up pet waste
🍂 Keeping storm drains clear of leaves and debris
🛠 Collecting fluids and waste when working on your car
Small actions add up too big impact for our environment!

Be prepared in this cold weather! Here are tips from National Grid
As we monitor the current forecast, with extremely cold temperatures expected overnight and through tomorrow, National Grid wishes to remind our customers to:

• Clear all vents of snow and ice to prevent equipment malfunction and dangerous carbon monoxide buildup.
• Remove icicles and snowbanks around meters and pipes to avoid damage that could lead to gas leaks.
• Ensure carbon monoxide safety by installing CO detectors, checking heating systems and chimneys, and never using stoves, generators, or vehicles in enclosed spaces.
• Be alert for signs of hypothermia, especially among older adults, infants, and those in colder indoor environments; call for medical help immediately if symptoms appear.
• If you smell gas, act fast—leave immediately, avoid using switches or phones, and call 911 or National Grid’s emergency number from a safe location.
