The Rules of the Road

Electric scooters, bicycles, and moto bikes seemingly pop out of nowhere, zipping down sidewalks or appearing suddenly at intersections. The City reminds all users to follow Minnesota state laws for everyone's safety.

Summer Sewer Break Ends 

The summer sewer rate break for sewer usage ends for the season on Sept. 21. This sewer break provides a cost reduction because lawn, garden, and other outdoor water usage does not flow into the sanitary sewer system. This means starting Sept. 21 you will see an increase in charges if you continue your outdoor water usage. For further information see City Ordinance 8-130.
