Attention drivers! School's out, and that means more kids might be walking, biking or playing outside during the day. Please be extra alert when driving through neighborhoods, parks and around school zones. Slow down, stay off your phone and keep a lookout for children who may be crossing the street or playing near the road. Let’s keep our streets safe and help protect our kids while they enjoy their time outside!

Warmer weather means more time outside and more kids playing in local creeks. Many people don’t realize: Your septic system (and your neighbor’s) can impact local creeks and rivers. Proper maintenance helps reduce harmful bacteria like E. coli in our waterways and keeps them safer for everyone. Be sure to:
✔ Pump your tank every 3–5 years
✔ Schedule regular inspections
✔ Fix issues early
