I love seeing homegrown projects like this. Great job, Quintin! Thank you for making our community an even greater place to live. We appreciate all your hard work!

We have a new addition to OMS.

A big “thank you” goes out to OHS student Quintin Chilson. We so appreciate his hard work and time in building this shelter by the OMS bus pick up area.

Quintin is an Eagle Scout and he completed this shelter over spring break for his Eagle Scout project. The shelter will help support kids at the bus stop when we have inclement weather.

GBR!

🚨 REMEMBER THE "THREE P's" 🚨 💩🧻🚽

Our pump stations and wastewater treatment facilities are having issues with wipes and other material clogging our equipment. Please help our team and follow this very simple guidance:

DO NOT flush cloth or other non-paper material down the toilet. 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 (𝐊𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐱), 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 “𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞” 𝐰𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐬 "𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞" 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞!

Cloth of any kind, like t-shirts, rags, and socks, should NEVER be flushed. Ever.

Flushing these products could lead to costly problems with your plumbing and cause backups — and it could also cause large-scale problems in the City’s wastewater infrastructure.

Welcome to Osawatomie! It's a good day when a dedicated professional invests in our community and our children.

I am honored to serve as part of a Governing Body that respects and values the differences of opinion of our fellow councilmembers. We don't always have to agree on everything, but we certainly share a common goal: making Osawatomie a better place to live, learn, and work.

If you're interested in hearing what's coming next for Osawatomie, please join us this Thursday (January 27th) at our regular council meeting. We begin at 6:30pm at Memorial Hall (next to John Brown Memorial Park). We love hearing from residents -- good or bad!

In today's tip, remember that we all have different approaches to situations. Honor the comments and concerns of others while working toward a common resolution. That is a great strategy for serving your community!
