Street Cleaning
Please obey the NO PARKING (1st Tuesday and Wednesday) 7 am – 3 pm signs located on each street. As a courtesy, we have been placing warning notices on vehicles in violation of these signs. We are no longer placing courtesy notices on vehicles. Court summons (tickets) will be issued to vehicles in violation.

Reminder from Public Works
In an effort to keep our city clean and beautiful, it is sometimes necessary for our city inspector to issue Housing Code Violations. It is the inspector’s job to cite those who are in violation. This is not meant as an attack on our residents but as a firm reminder that needs to be addressed by a resident in order to comply with our housing codes. Our inspector will work with you and may even extend your time frame to complete the necessary work. The work MUST still be completed. Failure to respond to your notice unfortunately results in an appointed court date. If this happens, the issue is out of the inspector's hands and into the courts which could result in possible fines and/or charges. So please, respond as soon as possible.
Storm Drains
At the request of MSD, all of our storm water inlets have been marked as a reminder that only rain water should go in the drain. In years past, it was common practice for residents to sweep debris along the curb into the drains. Some went as far as to dump their waste oil. The new markers are there to remind us that what goes into these drains eventually ends up as our drinking water in our homes.
