In one of Massachusetts jackpot zones, Haverhill DPW crews
HAVERHILL – Department of Public Works crews in Haverhill are busy as the city was one of the “jackpot zones” during Sunday’s snowstorm in Massachusetts.
Haverhill received over a foot of snow overnight, with flakes still falling as of Sunday afternoon.
Power lines sagged a bit under the weight of the snow and some branches came down, but overall there have not been any major issues reported.
Department of Public Works director Robert Ward said there are about 140 sand and salt trucks out on the road in addition to plows.
“They’re out there. We’re just chipping away. If you take a look around the facility, it’s a ghost town because everyone is out there plowing snow,” Ward said. “It’s just a lot of it, and it’s just going to take some time to get the roads cleared out.”
