The leaf pickup will start later this week with one Vac and the City crews and then the second Vac will start November 2nd with the part- time help. Just a reminder not to put the leaves in the street because it will clog up the drains if it rains and don’t mix brush in with the leaves.

Commissioner Wise reported that the department is flushing the hydrants today and tomorrow. The Lime Lagoons will be cleaned out when the farmers get the crops out then they can spread it on the fields. He also stated that last Wednesday something happened to Well 10 (behind the YMCA) and the alarm went off, so it was caught early. The crew from St. Louis came and found the shaft had snapped so they pulled it out and the pump and all the pieces and took it back with them to St. Louis to rebuild it. The last time anything was done to Well 10 was in 2014. So, they will be back Wednesday and run a camera down in the hole to make sure everything is good. They will clean the screens and put it all back together.
