The rains have stopped, so the street project is back on in full force. The storm drains are in place and the next phase will be the replacement of the water lines.
Along with the rains come the mosquitoes! The city crew sprayed the first time on June 5th. However…we would like to ask the citizens to help us out. Mosquitoes require water to breed. Adult mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant or slow moving water. By eliminating these water sources, you can keep new generations of mosquitoes from taking up residence in your yard. You may need to reroute your downspouts or add extensions to carry water away. Walk your property after a rain and look for areas that are holding water. Dump anything that holds water twice per week if it rains. Birdbaths, wading pools and pottery will all attract breeding mosquitoes. Keep your property clean of any items that can hold water, including discarded aluminum cans and old tires.
The crews have been busy grading alleys and roads. The road to the lake is smooth again, so plan a trip out to enjoy the City Lake. Fishing, boating, a picnic and the new shooting range are a few ways you can enjoy the lake. Permits are $4.00 per day for a vehicle or a yearly pass is $25.00. There is no fee for fishing.
Our City Administrator has moved on and the search for a new administrator continues. Interested applicants can view the job advertisement at http://www.lkm.org/classifieds/jobs/.
