City of Casper Hires Four Private Contractors to Plow Snow
The City of Casper has hired four private contractors to help clear snow from residential neighborhoods, according to a prepared statement from the city manager s office.
The city is still digging out from the record storm that buried the city under two feet of snow, shut down roads, closed schools and businesses.
“The contractors will work from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. beginning tomorrow to assist us in clearing the snow from residential areas,” Streets and Traffic Manager Shad Rodgers said.
The prepared statement did not identify the contractors.
The contractors will bring in heavy equipment in neighborhoods, and that will require extra caution and courtesy from residents, Rodgers said.
Casper College and the University of Wyoming at Casper will be closed Monday, according to an alert from the college on Sunday afternoon.
Likewise, UW s main campus in Laramie will be closed on Monday, too, according to a prepared statement from the university.
The UW emergency closure includes all campus facilities and employees, with the exception of essential workers performing critical services.
This means there will be no online or in-person classes on Monday. Nonessential employees should not come to campus.
Conditions will continue to be assessed to determine whether it’s possible to resume classes and other university operations Tuesday.
