Spring is around the corner. As we enter this season with excitement about more daylight and warmer weather, we also see our members encounter seasonal exposures. As we get into the stormy season, we know that more mowing and weed eating will be occurring on City properties and right of ways. We typically see an increase of claims for damages caused by mowers/weed eaters throwing rocks or debris. Make sure to point the blower from the mower and the weed eater away from roadways or parking areas or wait until these areas are not as congested.

Also, with additional rainfall expected make sure to check newly filled areas where road work has occurred, as well as clear out debris from storm water grates to minimize chances of a roadway or property being flooded.
