TRASH REMINDER:
If your trash is overflowing or your lid has more than a foot of space between the bottom of the lid and the lip of the can, you will be charged an overflow fee of $6 per incident. This fee comes directly from the trash company itself, and will be added to your bill (listed as OV1, OV2, or OV3). They provide the City with pictures of the trash can in question which with each charge. The City made sure (during the April Meeting) that we had exact specifications on what would be charged and what would not in the hopes to eliminate confusion. If you have boxes, please make sure they are broken down so that your lid may close to meet these specifications. Just to highlight the points again:

*Lid closed= no extra charge
*lid open over 1ft= $6 per incident.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact City Hall during regular business hours.

GAS MAN:
City Hall was informed this morning that the guy walking around checking gas meters is actually from Ameren on official business checking for leaks. There are still a few streets that they have to do, so there will be another representative walking around checking meters, though it may not be the same person now.

We have also asked that they contact the City ahead of time when they come to check the gas meters so we can inform our residents when it is a legitimate individual.

As always, if it looks suspicious, contact the authorities.

Advance Fire Department will be conducting training exercises tonight at 6pm, focusing on water supply, scene size-up, and hose deployment. This notification aims to inform citizens that the training is not an emergency situation, and they are advised to keep a safe distance from the training area.

RUSTY WATER:
Please be advised that we have reached the point in the water project that as the contractors attach the lines, they will have to flush them out and you may expect to see rusty water at random points for the next 2-3 months. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
