CURRENT / UPCOMING EVENTS
ODD DAY & EVEN DAY OUTDOOR WATERING RESTRICTIONS BEGIN
June 1, 2021 begins another outdoor watering season, and with it comes the annual odd day or even day watering schedule. It’s easy to remember, if your address is even, you may water outdoors on even days, if your address is odd, you are allowed to water on odd days.
Fire Hydrant Repainting
One of our annual, seasonal maintenance projects is the repainting of fire hydrants. In the summer of 2019, all Township fire hydrants south of Gratiot Road were the target for that spring/summer project. All hydrants in this area were power washed, sandblasted, primed with gray paint, and then painted their customary red color. No hydrants were painted in 2020.
WEEKLY YARD WASTE PICK-UP WILL BEGIN AGAIN IN 2021.
