Remember Water tower update
City offices are closed today, Friday, April 19.
The work on the water tower that started April 1 is progressing well and is still on schedule to be completed within the original six week time estimate. This would put the tower back in service in mid-May. We appreciate everyone’s patience with the outdoor watering ban as this vital preventative maintenance work is completed.
Arbor Day
An Arbor Day Celebration will be held on April 26, 2019 to celebrate the benefits of trees, including how trees can reduce erosion of topsoil by wind and water, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen, provide habitat for wildlife, and cut heating and cooling costs. Trees are also beneficial because they are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires, and help beautify and give our community character.
Volunteers will be distributing free seedlings at the following times and locations:
10:00 am – noon – Dexter District Library (3255 Alpine Street)
1:00 – 3:00 pm – Dexter Mill (3515 Central St)
11:00 am – noon – Clock Plaza (corner of Broad & Main Streets; weather permitting)
