Snowstorm Looming: Clarkstown Will Enforce Winter Parking Rules

NEW CITY, NY — With a powerful storm predicted to bring some snow and gusty winds as it passes to the east overnight, Clarkstown police said they will be stepping up enforcement of the town's winter parking rules.

There is no overnight parking on the street in Clarkstown in the winter — the rule goes into effect Nov. 15 every year and doesn't lift until April 1.

In case of scattered power outages, O&R reminds residents to stay clear of downed electric wires. Assume it is energized and dangerous, like the one Jan. 20 in Orangetown.

Call O&R immediately toll-free at 1-877-434-4100. If the situation requires urgent action, call your local police at 911 to divert traffic until an O&R crew arrives.

How to Report an Outage

If you experience a power outage, don’t assume that O&R automatically knows about it. You can report it and check to see when your lights will be back on through:

• Click here from any computer or web-based mobile device.
• Use the O&R mobile app from your iPhone, iPad or Android device — download via Apple Store or Google Play
• Text messaging by texting “OUT” to 69678 (myORU) or
• Call 1-877-434-4100.
