This subject matter isn't near as much fun to post about as the wonderful Harrison150 celebration on Friday. Thank you to everyone who attended and all the wonderful vendors who provided fun gifts and activities for our community! But, working sewer systems are a part of a thriving community. And it will take everyone following the rules to keep our systems in great shape. No matter what the package displays, wipes are not safe for anyone's systems.

It's time to help your neighbors again by donating blood at City Hall on Wednesday, May 27.
