Hampton Closing, Flood, & Trash Collection Information

November 12, 2009

Hampton schools and courts will be closed on Friday, November 13. 

Residents that did not have their trash/recycling picked up on Thursday, November 12 will have it picked up on Friday if conditions allow.  Residents who have trash pickup on Friday will keep to their normal schedule as weather conditions allow.

There are many traffic lights that are out around the city.  Citizens are reminded to come to a four way stop at all intersections without working traffic signals.

A Flood Watch is in effect through Saturday, November 14 at 6:00 p.m.  The approaching new phase of the moon in tandem with a persistent northeast flow is keeping water trapped in the bay.  Residents should be alert for rising waters through Saturday and proceed with caution.  High tides in Hampton for Friday are at 5:58 a.m. and 6:20 p.m.
