PUBLIC WORKS BULLETIN

PUBLIC WORKS BULLETINstate of florida’s “one call law” “share the road” responsibly

The Public Works Department is reminding residents of the State of Florida’s “One Call Law”. The Underground Facility Damage Prevention and Safety Act, Chapter 556, Florida Statutes requires anyone who is digging or disturbing the ground to contact 811 and have underground facilities marked no less than two full business days before beginning any excavation or demolition.

Not performing this action can result in extensive property damage at your expense by unintentionally damaging Public or Private property. Please call 811 and request your ground utilities be marked before you dig.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns about 811 Sunshine, please call the Public Works Department at 305-861-4863 or email at publicwork@townofsurfsidefl.gov.

When driving through residential areas, remember, the roads are shared. Pedestrians use the roadway to walk, motorized vehicles use the roads to commute, and other non-motorized vehicles use the roads as an alternative method to commute and exercise. Let’s all do our part!.

Cyclists are required to follow the rules of the road similar to a vehicle. Pedestrians should ALWAYS look both ways before crossing any street. Vehicles should exercise caution with cyclists and pedestrians and abide to the posted speed limit.

The Public Works Department recently installed new signs throughout Town to remind everyone to “Share the Road,” responsibly.

CODE CORNER

summertime and mosquito season are here

Summertime is in full swing! This means more outdoor activities such as picnics, beach days, barbecues, and time spent at outdoor parks are more common this time of the year. You might notice that summertime also means more mosquitoes; this is why you must be proactive in protecting your family and neighbors by removing anything that could attract mosquitoes and help their breeding. Here are a few suggestions: • Remove standing water in and around your property. Check and drain water from house gutters, garbage cans, toys, flower pots, or any container where water has accumulated. • Ensure that boat and car tarps do not collect water. • Maintain swimming pool pump equipment and water chemicals in check. • Ornamental plants, such as Bromeliads, can hold water between their leaves. If you have them at home, flush the water out of your plants or coat the water with a bit of food-grade oil. • Cover windows, doors, and porches with screens. • Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk; if you must be out during this time, cover your skin with clothing and apply mosquito repellent.

Please report any unkempt pool or any other accumulation of standing water to the Town’s Code Compliance Division at 305-861-4863, ext. 233. You can also report any mosquito nuisance areas to Miami-Dade County by dialing 311
