🌳 A smoother path ahead at Rexburg Nature Park!
If you’ve spent time walking the Nature Park trail, you likely noticed some sections of the pathway showing age.
Thanks in part to grant funding from AARP and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation, several sections of pathway have now been repaired!
We're celebrating the upgrade to our beloved trail and we're inviting everyone to come see the improvements!
This Wednesday, October 21, the Rexburg team is giving the park a little fall cleanup and taking a walk along the newly repaired pathway.
This accomplishment is a benefit for the entire community and we want you there with us.
🧤 Community Cleanup & Trail Walk: 4 PM
Bring a pair of gloves if you have them and join us for a little cleanup along the way.
✂️ Ribbon Cutting of the new trail: 4:30 PM
📍 Rexburg Nature Park on 5th West
Representatives from AARP and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation will be joining us as we recognize the partnerships that helped make these improvements possible. Please join us in extending a nod of thanks to them for their support!
Come take a walk with us, lend a hand, and help us celebrate another investment in a place our community loves. 🍂🌳

Rexburg City crews will begin their annual fall yard debris pickup route Monday, October 26, making this weekend’s good-weather forecast the perfect time to start prepping! 🌄🌳🍂
For the safety of our crews, a few important reminders:
1. Crews can pick up natural yard waste only. Please bag grass and leaves and bundle branches.
2. Please limit bags and bundles to 50 lbs. Branches should be no longer than 4 feet.
🍁 Seasonal tip: Prevent clogs and water damage by making sure your gutters are clean and free-flowing before winter hits. Add leaves and other natural yard debris to your curb while crews can assist!
The City provides curbside yard debris collection twice each year - once in the spring and once in the fall. Outside of these seasonal pickups, residents can dispose of yard waste at the Madison County transfer station.
Questions, comments, or suggestions about the City’s yard waste collection program? Contact Public Works through our City Department Directory: https://www.rexburg.org/staff.

🚧 **2ND EAST ROAD CLOSURE | AUGUST 16–18** 🚧
Beginning Sunday, August 16, the City of Rexburg will begin sewer line construction along 2nd East between Yellowstone Hwy and 7th North.
⛔ **FULL CLOSURE: AUGUST 16–18**
This portion of 2nd East will be **completely closed with no through access permitted during the three-day closure. Access to businesses WILL be open.
The intersection will be at the center of active construction, making it necessary to fully restrict traffic through the area. Detour signs will be in place, but drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time.**
🚗 **WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AUGUST 18?**
Following the full closure, 2nd East will reopen with one lane of traffic in each direction for approximately 30 days while crews continue sewer line installation.
Please expect reduced speeds, changing traffic patterns, construction equipment & active crews, leading to travel delays throughout the project.
⚠️ Please slow down, follow posted traffic controls, and watch carefully for crews working near the roadway.
Construction schedules may change based on weather, site conditions, and project progress.

Thank you for your patience as crews complete this important infrastructure work.
The Rexburg Water Department detected a temporary drop in water pressure (below 20 PSI) due to contractor activity near Birch Lane.
As a precaution, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has requested water samples from the affected area. While those samples are being tested, a boil advisory has been issued for the 15 residences located on Birch Lane.
🏠 Residents in the affected area have already been notified in person.
What's the difference?
Boil Advisory: Issued as a precaution after a loss of water pressure while testing is underway.
Boil Order: Issued only if testing confirms contamination, such as the presence of bacteria.
At this time, this advisory applies only to the 15 homes on Birch Lane.
Water sample results are expected tomorrow, and we'll provide an update as soon as they're available.
Thank you for your patience as we work with DEQ to ensure Rexburg's drinking water remains safe.
