Even though we recieved some rain the past few days, the summer heat will return. Remember to follow Shakopee Public Utilities' seasonal watering schedule to help conserve water and keep our community thriving.

Odd/Even Watering (May 1 – September 30)
✔️ If your address ends in an even number, water on even-numbered days only.
✔️ If your address ends in an odd number, water on odd-numbered days only.

No watering is allowed between noon and 5 p.m. for any address, when evaporation is at its highest.

A little planning goes a long way in protecting our water resources while keeping your lawn healthy all season long.

The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) is proposing changes to commuter service between Shakopee and Minneapolis by combining Routes 490 and 493.

Under the proposal:
• Route 493 would be discontinued
• Select Route 490 trips would serve Marschall Road Transit Station
• Route 490 would continue serving Southbridge Crossings Park & Ride
• Riders would gain a new one-seat ride option to the University of Minnesota
• Trip times on existing routes would be adjusted

Currently, Route 493 provides three daily trips each direction between Marschall Road Transit Station and Downtown Minneapolis. Route 490 provides weekday commuter service from Prior Lake, Eagle Creek Park & Ride, and Southbridge Crossings Park & Ride to Downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota.

Just a little bit longer and the splash pad will be open. Thanks for your patience! 🦁

The Shakopee Snapshot arrived a little earlier than expected in mailboxes, so some may think the Splash Pad is open now, it’s not quite ready yet. Shakopee Public Works are cleaning and filling the pool this week, and the Splash Pad will open next week.
