4/8/2020 - COVID-19 Southbury Update

First Selectman Manville asks for help at the Transfer Station

The Town of Southbury is asking for your help and patience while the Transfer Station on Kettletown Road tries to protect the health and safety of the residents and workers. Due to congestion at times, traffic patterns will change in attempt to provide more space for both users and workers. Currently, Saturday and Tuesday are the peak days of the week seeing the most traffic. If some residents could modify their routines other than those days they might experience an easier and less congested process. Please maintain proper social distancing and thank you.
