Back to School Safety

As our children head back to school, we would like to remind everyone to please drive with care through our neighborhoods. Children who do not ride a bus are encouraged to walk or bike in groups, or with parents, to alleviate congestion around schools. Parents who drive their children are encouraged to follow established school pick-up and drop-off plans. Residents are also reminded that even hands-free cell phone use is prohibited in school zones.

Public Works personnel will conduct annual hydrant flushing in September between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The operation will take place Monday through Friday. Signs will be posted in affected areas before the work begins.
