NEVADA WELL HOUSE PROJECT

If you have drove by Caldwell Park lately, you would have noticed that the old well house has been removed and the slab has been poured for the new structure…how exciting! We would like to thank everyone involved in this project who has donated their time, money, equipment and services. A special THANK YOU to Janet Hargett who is doing an outstanding job leading this project, Paul Renfro with Classic Homes, Tommy Hall, Billy Caldwell and Jim Dunmyer with Affordable Trash Containers.

TREES OVERHANGING CITY STREETS

Property owners, please make sure your trees overhanging city streets are cut back to a proper height to allow clearance for our school busses, emergency services, delivery and city services. This is a violation of city ordinance and could result in a fine.

It may be a good idea to go ahead and cut back those limbs! while you have the chain saws out and running or hired contractors cleaning up after the recent storms.
