- Trash pickup for this week will happen on Saturday, February 20. You can wait until Friday evening to roll your containers out to the street.
- City Hall will be closed due to the weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb 16th and 17th. We may close additional days if road conditions are still hazardous. In case of emergency, please call 911.
- Public Works Director Terry Kellum reports that heaters are on at all well-house pump stations.
- Fire and Police Chiefs Griffith and Thurman report no significant issues.
- Many people are reporting frozen pipes. Keep your faucets running at strong drip or thin stream. Pipes that are frozen now are not likely to thaw for a few days.
We are actively monitoring the situation around town and will post updates as they arrive. Keep in mind that frostbite can occur within minutes in extreme cold weather. Stay inside as much as possible and keep water moving through your faucets.
