The department also finished the decorative light poles in Schuster Park and they cleaned up the compost site and burned the brush pile. The department also thanked residents for taking their old flowers to the compost site, but they ask you remove any plastic containers they may be in, especially from the old mums. Leaf pickup is ongoing and they ask residents again not to put branches, sticks, garden waster or animal waste in their leaves as it plugs the machine up.
They Sewer Department is doing some lift station maintenance, had a contractor haul sludge and they had a sewer back up due to some grease in the system. They also winterized the fire hydrants, prepared the equipment for snow and ice removal and did a DNR required inspection. It was also mentioned that the DNR has provided a dumpster by the old Cenex for hunters to dispose of their deer carcasses.
