Midway Park Master Plan
Provide your input by May 16 to upgrade the vision for Midway Park by completing the Midway Park Master Plan Survey. The goal of the project is to evaluate existing amenities and identify desired amenities that can be incorporated into the park through future capital improvement projects. Help ensure this iconic park continues to be a vibrant gathering space for Broomfield Community members of all ages, abilities, and interests.
COVID-19 Update
The amount of the COVID-19 virus in Broomfield wastewater has increased in April. If you are 50 and older and/or immunocompromised, you may get a second booster of the COVID-19 vaccine. Getting all recommended doses will provide you with the highest level of protection and help raise your immunity level — especially for those who are at high risk. Calculate how many doses you need for the highest level of protection.

Spring Cleanup
Spring Cleanup starts this Saturday! Dispose of large, non-hazardous items trash haulers don’t normally pick up. This free event will be held on consecutive Saturdays: April 23, April 30, May 7, and May 14. Check this map to see which Saturday haulers will be in your area. All scrap metal and untreated wood will be recycled. Additionally, ARC Thrift Store will provide pick-up of clothes and reusable items on the same day as the waste pickup.
Water Shutoffs Resume in July
To ensure customers had access to essential water services during the pandemic, the City and County of Broomfield suspended water shutoffs in March 2020.

The City and County of Broomfield cannot dismiss or write off past due water charges; payment arrangements must be made for all accounts to continue service.
