Due to Severe Weather, Non-Emergency Offices Closed Today,

WCA Waste Corp. officials notified the City that residents and businesses who participate in the Municipal Solid Waste Program will not receive service today as “it is unsafe to run residential and commercial routes.” Officials said customers will receive collection on their next scheduled service day.
To assure public safety, emergency management officials are closely monitoring local roadways, bridges and travel citywide. Public Works crews are currently applying a light coat of F-rock to some area bridges and will continue to monitor the structures throughout the day. Officials advise residents to avoid travel, if at all possible.
As forecasters predict that temperatures will continue to drop, residents are encouraged to protect the “Four P’s”: People, pets, pipes, and plants.
