SNOW REMOVAL - Parking on streets is prohibited from November 1st to April 1st between the hours of 2 am to 6 am. The purpose is to allow winter maintenance crews unobstructed routes for snow removal and ice control. The police may issue parking violations and have vehicles towed as they would be deemed a public safety hazard. Public Works can be reached at 701-642-6565 and Wahpeton Police phone number is 701-642-7722. 
FIRE HYDRANTS - During the winter please remove the snow around the fire hydrants located in your yard. This saves time and assists the fire department should they need to access the hydrant in a time of a fire event. Don't park in front of hydrants in case the fire department needs to access the hydrant.
SUMP PUMPS - All sump pumps are to drain into the storm drain and not to the sanitation sewer. When draining outdoors, water should not be drained into adjacent properties.
