The city has been doing hydrant flushing. If your water looks milky, it is caused by tiny air bubbles and harmless minerals. It is safe to use and drink.

Community Awareness post!

Szymon Bookman Binger is a University student from Poland doing his summer exchange program here in Wi******er!
He has completed the necessary paperwork and obtained permits from the city hall to go door-to-door selling books to help families with education. He does not represent, nor is affiliated with, any school. This is a summer program to help him pay his way through University.

If he knocks on your door, please know he is fully permitted and if you are not interested he will simply thank you for your time and move on.

His Facebook link is below with his picture so everyone can recognize him if they see him out and about!

This is your city trash service, GFL, with an important update regarding your collection schedule for next week.

Due to the extreme heat index forecasted for next week, we will be starting our routes two hours earlier than normal. Our drivers may take longer to complete their routes, as we are encouraging them to prioritize safety and take the necessary precautions to prevent heat-related incidents.

To ensure a safe and efficient service for everyone, please set your trash out the night before your scheduled collection day.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to keep our crews safe. We appreciate your business.
