September is National Preparedness Month! You can ensure that you and your crew are ready for an emergency by taking action this month. This year's theme is "Start a conversation". From ready.gov: "Talking about bad things that could happen like a disaster or emergency isn’t always easy. We may think we’re protecting the people we love by avoiding these conversations, but they are important to start taking steps to get ready and stay safe. 'Starting a conversation today can help you and your family to take more actions to prepare. By taking simple steps, you can build your preparedness at your own pace." Learn more from ready.gov about what steps you can take here: https://www.ready.gov/september Safety Information for Rexburg Residents: https://www.rexburg.org/.../safety-information-for-residents

How long until you can see the stop sign? Our city crews have been out and about and have found quite a few overgrown landscaping greens that are obstructing the view of stop signs, pedestrians, and oncoming traffic around corners. Not only normal traffic, but garbage trucks, school buses, street sweepers, and soon snow plows all have a hard time seeing around these overgrown greens as the leaves scrape across, and sometimes fully block their windshields! This is a safety concern and we need your help to address it! It's the property owner's responsibility to maintain landscaping all the way to the curb. Please make sure your curb landscaping trees are cut high (ideally 10' of clearance) and shrubs are cut low (ideally below 3').

7:00am Friday Sewer Line UPDATE: Early this morning, our dedicated staff along with the crews of the contractor were able to locate and repair the broken section of sewer line. Rexburg Rapids and the splash pad at Porter Park will resume operations today with their normal hours. We thank everyone involved for their hard work and we thank the community for their patience and assistance. We hope you have a great weekend!

5:10pm Sewer Line UPDATE: Crews are still actively working on the sewer line break; they are currently attempting to reach the point of the line break, but water flow is working against them. At this time, we are asking residents to stop any activities that allow water to access the drain. This includes indoor and outdoor water use that would go to the drain. Once the crews are able to reach the break, we hope to know more information. We appreciate everyone's patience and assistance as our teams work on necessary repairs.

Out of an abundance of caution, Rexburg Rapids and the splash pad at Porter Park will be closed for the remainder of the day.
