🚧 Road Update Following Sunday’s Heavy Rainfall
Public Works assessed the roads first thing this morning, Monday, November 2nd, and overall, they held up fairly well.
Cones have been placed at Lake and 5th to alert drivers to a small washout along the side of the road. The road remains passable. Please use caution when traveling through this area.
REMINDER: Public Works must wait until the dirt roads dry before grading. Grading wet dirt roads simply pushes mud into piles rather than restoring a smooth driving surface.
Thank you for your patience as we allow the roads time to dry!

“Leaf Season Reminder”
Fallen leaves left in the street wash into storm drains, clogging systems and adding pollutants to our lakes.
