Public Works crews have begun to clean up fallen tree branches from the storm this past weekend. Due to the number of fallen branches, this may take a few days so please be patient.
If you have a parkway tree with broken branches or a parkway tree branch that has fallen on your property that needs to be looked at, please send us a message using the link here.
The 2020 Community Garage Sales will take place from July 9th through July 11th this year. To view the flyer, click here.
Per the State of Illinois Phase 3 guidelines: “All persons operating a garage sale and all attendees should wear appropriate face coverings. No more than ten (10) individuals, including those operating the garage sale, should be present at any one time. All persons should maintain the recommended six (6) feet of separation. Garage Sale operators should sanitize all frequently touched surfaces as well as products that they wish to sell. Attendees of garage sales should wash or disinfect their hands after each garage sale they attend.”
The Public Works Department is asking that residents ensure that they do not have any open containers, toys, tires, etc. in their yards holding water to help reduce mosquito breeding. Here are some helpful tips for reducing mosquito breeding on your property:
1. Keep gutters clean and unclogged. Be sure your downspouts drain properly, without leaving puddles
in the drainage area.
2. Keep swimming pools cleaned and chlorinated, even when not in use.
3. Ornamental ponds should be aerated to keep water moving and discourage mosquitoes from laying eggs.
4. Dump anything that holds water twice per week if it has rained. Birdbaths, non-chlorinated wading pools, footbaths, garbage can lids, and pottery will all attract breeding mosquitoes. Remember to empty the saucers under your flower pots, and don’t leave water in pet bowls for more than two days.
5. Keep your property clean of items that can hold water, including discarded aluminum cans and tires.
