Happy Friday, Smithfield - check out these things to know:

 

National Grid survey - National Grid will be conducting a leakage survey in Smithfield. Grid officials will be going door to door and may be seen walking on private property in order to read outside meters. Those meters that are not accessible. officials will ask for access to the residence to check the meter. Those residents who are not home, a notice will be left in the door. All survey officials must wear photo identification.

The survey is expected to last until the end of 2013. A list of survey personnel, their dates of births and the vehicles they drive has been submitted to the Police Department. You may call the Smithfield Police Department at 231-2500 with any questions or concerns.
