Your Morgan Hill Weekly 411
Week of March 22, 2020
|
|
Hello Morgan Hill!
To say things changed quickly for all of us this past week
would be an understatement. It seems that everything has changed and that life as we knew it has been turned completely upside down.
We understand this is a difficult and uncertain time for all, with significant impacts on many different levels. Know that the City Council, the City Manager, the City Leadership Team and our City Teammates care about you, our Morgan Hill community. We are working hard to ensure the health and safety of our community. We can't stress enough how important it is to follow the State and County orders to shelter-in-place. Staying home saves lives.
We encourage the community to stay calm, safe, and share accurate information with your friends and neighbors who may not have access to social media or other local communication channels. Remind your friends they can
sign up for regular email updates from the City
online.
Those with questions or concerns can
email
us or call
408.767.6404.
You can also visit our website for all the latest information on the COVID-19 pandemic at
www.morganhill.ca.gov/covid19
We will continue to provide separate and regular updates related to the COVID-19 crisis. We will also continue to send the Weekly 411 with other information that is not necessarily related to the pandemic. We believe that at times like this, when nothing is the same, things that can bring some amount of normalcy to life are important.
We are here for you! We will get through this together!

Morgan Hill Police Captain Shane Palsgrove
Appointed as Interim Police Chief
|
|
On Friday, March 20, our City Manager, Christina Turner, announced the appointment of Captain Shane Palsgrove as the Interim Police Chief for our Morgan Hill Police Department. Captain Palsgrove will assume this new role immediately upon Chief David Swing's departure on April 3 2020.
We are confident that Captain Palsgrove will keep our Police Department moving forward providing the same high level of police service our community expects and deserves. We are fortunate to have someone from our internal command team who has the necessary skills, abilities, and the experience to assume this role for the interim with ease.
Please join us in congratulating Captain Shane Palsgrove!

Important things to remember
|
|
You may not have known this, but sanitary wipes including flushable ones (toilet wipes/baby wipes/wet wipes/pet litter, etc.) damage pumps and treatment equipment, cause process performance problems and clog sewer lines.
Flushable wipes are not really flushable!
Do your part...keep the wipes out of the pipes!

Watering Schedule Changes as of April 1
|
|
Water is always a precious resource and the City's permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage our potable water supply. These restrictions help avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.
Customers can report water waste
online
or by calling the Water Waste Hotline at 408-310-4195.
