Norway Town Hall news

NORWAY — Emergency vehicles are having difficulty finding homes due to a lack of house numbers on mailboxes or because they are covered with snow. Please post your house number on both sides of your mailbox or on a very visible spot on your home.

The Town of Norway "Proposed Street Naming/Road Numbering Ordinance for 911 Enhanced" under Section 6 Compliance states: 

a) number on structure or residence - when the residence or structure is within 50' of the edge of the road, the assigned number should be displayed on the front of the residence in the vicinity of the front door or entry.

b) number at the street/road - if the residence/structure is over 50' from the road, the number should be displayed on a post, fence, wall or mailbox adjacent to the walk or driveway of the residence.

c) numbers should be large enough to be clearly visible from the road/street and should contrast with the background colors.

Please contact the Town Office for the full wording of the ordinance or further explanation; do not wait till you need help to find out time is lost if the emergency vehicles cannot locate you.

The Town Office will be closed on Monday, January 17 in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr Day.

There will be a Rabies Vaccination and Micro-chipping Clinic held at the  Norway Fire Station on Saturday, January 22, from 9-11 a.m. Micro-chipping your pets will aid in locating them should a disaster occur or if they are lost. This clinic is sponsored by Responsible Pet Care. For more information, call 743-8679.
