Full Notification

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for our area from 2:00 AM Sunday morning (1/25) until 1:00 PM Monday afternoon (1/26). Between 6 to 10 inches of snow along with some ice accumulation is expected.
 

• All vehicles must be removed from Snow Emergency Streets in South River once they become snow covered. Residents are asked to do so ahead of the storm before going to bed this evening. These streets are listed at the end of this message.

• Even if you do not reside on a Snow Emergency Street, please consider moving your vehicle into your driveway, if possible. Doing so will allow for more efficient plowing.

• Remove all objects from the roadway (garbage cans, basketball hoops, etc.).

• The icing conditions will have the potential to bring down tree limbs and power lines. Be prepared for the possibility of power outages and loss of heat.

•  As per the South River Board of Education, entry to all parking lots in the South River public school campus are closed as of 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 24th to allow unobstructed access for snow removal equipment. Additionally, "temporary emergency no parking" signs have been placed on Elm Street.

•  Dangerously cold temperatures are occurring and are forecasted to continue. Please take the proper precautions if outdoors.
 
• Driving tomorrow and into Monday will be impacted. Driving is discouraged. If you must drive, allow yourself additional travel time and keep extra space between your vehicle and others on the road. Remember to clear snow & ice from your vehicle before driving.

• Keep a path cleared to your front door and, if safe to do so, shovel around fire hydrants near your property to assist First Responders in the event of an emergency.

• Check on elderly neighbors and relatives. Especially in the event of a power outage or cold temperatures.

• Essential services will remain uninterrupted. First responders will have extra manpower on hand should you need them. Remember to dial 9-1-1 only in the event of an emergency. Non emergency calls should be directed to 732-238-1000.

• As per South River Borough ordinance, all sidewalks must be cleared of snow within 24 hours after the snowfall stops.

• When removing snow from driveways and sidewalks, do not throw the snow into the street. Instead, place it onto other areas such as your lawn or yard.

• The South River Department of Public Works will be out working hard to clear our streets. Please be patient as they work to reach all streets in the borough.

• Residents are reminded that snow plows will make multiple passes on your street and may affect shoveling you have already completed. If they pass after you shovel, it may become necessary to shovel again.
