🚧 2026 Utility & Street Improvement Project Update #3 🚧
📅 June 9, 2026

Construction is moving forward in the Northwest Region of Frazee. Thank you for your patience as crews continue working to improve streets and utilities.

✅ Work Completed
• Street removal north of Birch Ave. W
• Temporary water system installed
• Temporary mailboxes set up

🔨 Work Planned for the Next Two Weeks
• Sewer installation on 4th St. NW (Cedar Ave. W to Fir Ave. W)
• Watermain installation on Elm Ave. W, 4th St. NW, and Fir Ave. W
• Street removal on Birch Ave. W and 2nd St. NW

💧 Temporary Water Service
Some homes and businesses will use a temporary water system while water lines are replaced. Water may occasionally appear cloudy or discolored. If this happens, run your cold water until it clears.

⚠️ Water Service Interruptions
Short water shutoffs may happen during construction. Most will be announced in advance, but unexpected interruptions can occur. If you are without water for more than 45 minutes, contact the contractor.

🚗 Driveway Access
Crews will do their best to keep driveways accessible. Some temporary restrictions may be needed during construction.

🌬️ Dust Control
Water will be used to help reduce dust in work areas, especially during hot, dry, or windy weather.

📬 Temporary Mailboxes
Temporary mailboxes are now in use and are located near the Water Treatment Plant and Water Tower at the north end of 3rd St. NW.

🗑️ Garbage Pickup
Place your garbage can at the end of your driveway on your normal pickup day. Please put your house number on the can with duct tape so it can be returned to the correct address.

🌱 Lawn Restoration
Disturbed lawn areas will be seeded after construction. Property owners will need to continue watering and mowing once grass reaches about 3 inches tall to help it grow properly and reduce weeds.

🚸 Safety Reminder
• Stay away from construction areas.
• Watch children closely near work zones.
• Do not move construction stakes or flags.
• Follow all road closure and detour signs.
• Stay off fresh concrete until it is fully cured.

📅 Weekly construction meetings are held every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. at the Frazee Fire Hall and are open to the public.

Project schedules may change due to weather or material delivery times. Updates will be shared on the City website and page.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve our community!

⚠️ Help Keep Our Community Safe ⚠️

Please do not place the items identified in Steve's Sanitation's latest post in your garbage bin.

Many of these items contain lithium-ion batteries, which can be damaged or crushed during collection and processing. When this happens, batteries can overheat and catch fire, creating a serious safety risk for sanitation workers, equipment, and our community.

Please take a moment to review the list and dispose of these items properly. Thank you for doing your part to help keep our community safe and protect those who work hard to collect and process our waste.

♻️ Safety starts with proper disposal.

Okay we need to talk. 👀

Your garbage truck is NOT a recycling center for your old v**es. It's also not a retirement home for dead power banks, ancient cell phones, or that e-cigarette you swore you quit. 😅

Lithium batteries are hiding in 35+ everyday items and when they get crushed inside a garbage truck, they don't just die quietly. They go out in a BLAZE of glory. Literally. 🔥

It's called thermal runaway and it is exactly as dramatic as it sounds.

So here's the full "please for the love of all things holy don't throw these away" list:

🔋 Disposable v**es & e-cigarettes
🔋 Rechargeable power banks
🔋 Old cell phones
🔋 Cordless tool batteries
🔋 Electric toothbrushes
🔋 Wireless earbuds & headphones
🔋 Laptops & tablets
🔋 Smart watches
🔋 Ring cameras & smart home devices
🔋 Bluetooth speakers
🔋 Digital cameras
🔋 Portable fans
🔋 Rechargeable flashlights
🔋 Rechargeable bike lights
🔋 E-bike & scooter batteries
🔋 Solar yard lights
🔋 Rechargeable camping lanterns
🔋 Rechargeable bug zappers
🔋 Rechargeable beauty devices
🔋 Electric razors & trimmers
🔋 Rechargeable vacuum cleaners
🔋 Hand warmers
🔋 Heated jackets & gloves
🔋 Rechargeable pet collars & GPS trackers
🔋 Rechargeable milk frothers
🔋 Portable blenders
🔋 Electric coffee mugs / self-heating cups
🔋 Electric lighters
🔋 Kids tablets & gaming devices
🔋 Remote controls with rechargeable batteries
🔋 Mini desk gadgets & LED décor
🔋 Rechargeable air pumps
🔋 Battery-operated holiday decorations

Still reading? Good. Here's what you DO with them:

✅ Drop them off at your county's hazardous waste site — it's FREE.
❌ NOT in your bin. Not even a little.

When in doubt, drop it out. At the right place. 😄

Tag that one person in your life who throws EVERYTHING in the trash. You know who they are. 👇
