Village Administrator Christopher Bradbury sent the following statement about the pump-out procedures:

Residents should call RB Police at 937-1020 to get on a list for pump-outs.  Threats to structures or utilities are the first priority.  Most pump-outs will occur when it is safe after the storm and will be evaluated on a case by case basis.  Water must be over 12 inches due to the large size of the fire department pumps.
