It can be alarming to see brown water coming out of the faucets of your house, but it’s likely to happen at some point due to water pressure fluctuations for a variety of reasons—construction, a broken water main, fire hydrant maintenance, etc. The good news is that most of the time there is no reason to worry and it's typically an easy fix. View this article for active water main breaks, hydrant uses, or brown water reports in your area.

If the sunshine makes you want to spruce up your yard, you’re in luck! This year, the Public Works Department and SOCRRA are kicking off the annual yard waste pickup program two weeks ahead of schedule, starting the week of March 23, 2026, and running through the week of December 14, 2026. Set your yard waste out in paper kraft bags or a labeled container (labels are available at City Hall or the DPW yard) at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your regular trash day. Yard waste is: Grass clippings, leaves, sod, garden waste, tree and shrub trimmings, small stumps, untreated and unpainted wood boards (nails removed), straw bales, and similar items. Yard waste is not: Food, pet waste, noxious weeds, grill charcoal, paper products, plastic bags, pumpkins, and other items that belong in the trash or recycling. For a complete list of acceptable items, visit bit.ly/490ynxm. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Public Works Department at 248-546-2519.
