News & Views A bi-weekly section where readers will be informed on subjects of seasonal interest, upcoming events and other timely topics. CLERK'S CORNER - Greetings from the Township! Happy July! ...er...Oc- tober? Though it has felt more like the middle of summer recently, fall is rapid- ly approaching, & we are preparing for seasonal change here at the Township. Street cleaning, hydrant flushing, & the closing of facilities will soon be upon us so get out & enjoy this late summer while you can! Thanks to everybody who helped make Township Day another success, & another thank you to all our residents who were affected by street improvement projects this 2025 building season. The Township's Utility Commission will be working through potential edits to our irrigation ordinance over the winter so make sure you keep your eyes & ears open in the spring for any changes. HYDRANT FLUSHING HAS BEGUN White Bear Township Public Works has begun to flush hydrants & watermains continue for the next couple weeks. You may experience discoloration in the water. Residents can open their lowest throughout the Township. This will level faucet to clear the line. It is not advisable to wash clothes if the water is discolored. STREET SWEEPING IN EARLY NOVEMBER - Sweeping of the Town ship streets will begin in early November, weather permitting. Sweeping is typically done as late in the season as is feasible to capture the most leaves. Please do not blow or rake the remaining leaves in your yard into the street; those should still be properly disposed of using compostable bags for yard waste pickup or brought to the compost site.
