We are seeing a slight error with water readings on utility bills. If you receive a bill via email, your water portion will likely be missing. We are working to resolve the issue and apologize for any inconvenience. Please call city hall with any questions or concerns

Shred bins are here! Located at the north parking lot of City Hall. All other items for city wide cleanup can be brought to Garbage N More starting tomorrow 8am-2pm

We have had a few issues with items being left at the branch pile that we can not accept. If this continues we will need to close it until we have sufficient staffing to man the pile. If you are interested in this position, please reach out to city staff or stop by City Hall for an application.

Grass clipping and leaves go in the dumpster and need to be unbagged. We know it fills up quick so if you absolutely can not get it in the dumpster, please at least leave it in bags next to the dumpster.

The pile is for trees and branches ONLY. We can not accept scrap wood of any kind.

City Hall will be closed Friday April 3rd and Monday April 6th in observance of Good Friday and Easter.

YAY! Devils Gulch is now open! Splitrock Park will remain closed due to the parking lot being soft still. We will open it as soon as we can.

The city branch pile isn't open for the season yet. We are working to figure out a date depending on the weather and the road condition. We will let you know as soon as we get the date figured out. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

The roads in Split Rock Park, and Devils Gulch are being monitored by staff and will open as soon as they are dried out enough to not get damaged by traffic. We apologize for inconvenience this has caused. You are more than welcome to park outside the parks and walk in to enjoy!

We are gearing up for the summer season and need to hire our seasonal staff! Interviews are being scheduled in the coming weeks so be sure to get your application to city hall as soon as possible.
