The winter of 2013-14 has chewed through more than half of the town's snow removal budget, said DPW Director Gino Cresta.
The town has spent about $100,000 of the $175,000 set aside for snow removal and salting and sanding, the director said.
Last week's storm cost the town $65,000, he said.
The salting and sanding and snow removal aren't the only services being pressed into action these cold stormy days.
The town has had three water main breaks in the last week including a break on Atlantic Avenue on Jan. 1, and a break on Linden Avenue on Jan. 8.
The director thinks the cold weather may be contributing to the spate in water line breaks.
