The Burlingame Library Summer Reading program includes all ages, from babies to adults. There are several great prizes this year including Giants game tickets, a Kindle, a $1,000 scholarship and more.

 

If you haven't picked up a reading log yet, it's not too late! Remember to turn your reading logs in on time. They are due on August 15.

During the most recent Dog Park Task Force meeting, the Task Force recommended further discussion about whether to open City ballfields to off-leash hours when they are not in use. 

 

This item will be going before the Parks and Recreation Commission in September for review.  Until the Commission has made a determination that is approved by City Council, the following off-leash locations and times are in effect:

 

Bayside Dog Park	Daily	6:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Washington Park	Daily	6:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m
Washington Ballfield	Mon-Fri	6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (during the school year only)
Cuernavaca Park	Daily	6:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m.
Cuernavaca Ballfield	Mon-Fri	6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (during the school year only)

The design of your City of Burlingame water and sewer utility bill has changed. Your utility bill was redesigned in an effort to provide billing and water consumption information in an easy-to-understand way.
 

We're making other improvements too. Soon we'll be able to introduce convenient, online services to all our customers including:

• Web-based automatic and one-time payments,

• Archives of historical bills,

• Information about water consumption history, and more.

This change is part of our ongoing effort to provide responsive, quality service to our customers as well as clear information about consumption to help us conserve and manage our use of a very precious and limited resource - water.
 

If you have any questions about your new utility bill, please contact the Utility Billing office at (650) 558-7210 or visit the Water and Sewer Utility Billing page on our website. You can also email us at waterdept@burlingame.org.

Envision Burlingame is our community-driven planning project that will develop long-term strategies for preserving and improving what we love about our community.

The second tour option will meet at the Wells Fargo building at 1145 Broadway and explore the growth of the Town of Easton adressing why Burlingame has two main business streets, why Broadway has an arch and other interesting tidbits.
