• As an added measure, the City Parks Department is still performing playground inspections and is simultaneously spraying down playgrounds with a disinfectant spray.

Events

• There will be various virtual and social distancing events scheduled through the summer. For information on these events click here. 

With many practicing social distancing and staying home all day instead of going to work and school, sewer systems across the country are seeing more waste than usual in concentrated areas. 

As a city we want to avoid sewer backups, so remember Flush Only Toilet Paper and Natural Waste.
