Worth knowing

When the city closes

Blizzards here regularly trigger a full city shutdown: facilities, schools and GN offices close and the water, sewage and garbage trucks are pulled off the roads until the storm passes. That matters most for the Apex, Tundra Valley and Lower Base households on trucked water and sewage pump-out — no delivery or pump-out comes until the roads reopen, so it is worth keeping the tank topped up before a storm.
