Spring is approaching and our oak trees are beginning to shed.
SIPOA will begin using street sweepers to collect the shedding oak leaves beginning on March 20, 2023. The street sweepers will operate for a period of four weeks and end on April 14, 2023. During this time, normal road blowing operations will be paused.
SIPOA collects these leaves in order to prevent them from depositing into our stormwater drainage piping and ponds. Residents are reminded not to blow leaves into the stormwater draining system. Last year we were able to collect over 200 cubic yards of leaf debris from our roadways that would have otherwise ended up in our stormwater piping and ponds!
