Four days after Thursday’s severe thunderstorm, and 72 residents in the Shenandoah Valley/Western Piedmont region, which includes Charlottesville, are still without power, according to Dominion Power.
The City of Charlottesville has announced a special storm pickup beginning today for both residents and businesses. Residents should place debris on the side of the road for pickup service.
“The City will contract with additional vendors to ensure that the pickup is as efficient as possible but complete storm pickup will likely take several weeks. There is no schedule for this special service and crews will attempt to work neighborhoods several times to ensure a complete pickup,” writes Ric Barrick, city spokesperson, in an e-mail.
For large items, a request to the Public Works Department is required. Call (434) 970-3830 with questions and requests for large items.
