FARMINGTON — The town’s winter parking ordinance takes effect Sunday, Nov. 15. Owners of vehicles parked from midnight to 6 a.m. on any street, public way or town-owned or town-leased parking lot may be fined $20 and/or the vehicle may be towed at the owner’s expense.

The parking ordinance, which covers Nov. 15 to April 15, provides for the removal of snow during the above hours or during any part of the day when vehicles would block removal of snow. The decision to plow at times other than the night hours is left up to the Public Works director, according to the ordinance.
