TOWING VEHICLES

WHEN YOU CAN CALL A TOW:

Hello all, I met with Earl of Earl's Wrecker Service today and he gave me specifics of when to call for a tow (910.395.1195) and when to call WPD - (452-6120).

WPD: Any vehicle that is NOT on private property but in violation of city ordinance (See link in earlier post) - eg: in a Fire Zone, blocking driveway, on sidewalk or grass between sidewalk and curb, double parking.

Tow truck: if any part of a vehicle is on your private property, Victoria Place common area or blocking your mail box during regular postal delivery hours. We are working on determining exactly if the property around the gate is ours or the city's. More to come on that. Just know that if you call to request a tow you will be the one signing the consent to tow paperwork.

Earl's is in the process of making up a sign that we can post so folks know who to call if their car is suddenly "missing."


Thanks, y'all.
