In the coming days, you may notice some activity at the water tower. It’s time for a facelift! Contractors will be pressure washing, sanding, repairing, and painting the tower over the next few weeks. During part of the process, the tank will need to be drained. That means we will be running only on pump pressure, and will be asking residents to please conserve water as much as possible. We will post a notice when that occurs.

Artjom Bookman Alihodzin is a University student from Estonia doing his summer exchange program here in MN.

He applied for a Transient Business/Peddlers Permit and passed a background check to go door-to-door selling books to help families with education. He does not represent, nor is affiliated with, any school. This is a summer program to help him pay his way through University.

If he knocks on your door, please know he is legit and if you are not interested he will simply thank you for your time and move on.
