BUECKERS CITY SANITATION

SEWER/WATER

If any resident wishes to tour the Wastewater Treatment Plant or the City's new well house, contact Joel Birr at the WWTP.  Give Joel a ring at 356-7509 and he will be pleased to give you a tour explaining how everything works.

PUBLIC WORKS

PARKS

The city has been adding more flowers, shrubs and trees to the streets and parks to beautify it.  In order to keep these looking nice, extra help is needed in caring for them.  Are you interested  in providing this kind of help?  If so, please give Ray a call at 320-248-4992

SKATING RINKS

The skating rinks will be open as soon as weather permits us to make and keep good ice.  The hockey and skating rinks are both at Ochotto Park.  The warming house will be open for use as well unless vandalism occurs.  Please turn off lights and shut the door behind you in you're the last one to use the warming house.

COMPOST SITE--THE COMPOST SITE IS NOW OPEN  Go down Angelfish Avenue and take a right at the intersection and then go straight through the gate ahead (instead of into the wastewater plant gates).  There will be a large sign marking the compost site.  You will see several piles with signs; please put the items in the correct piles. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The compost site if for grass, leaves, brush and tree branches.  Nothing else is accepted.  If other foreign items keep finding their way into the site we will close the gates immediately without notice.  It will take everyone's help to keep this open.

If you live within the city limits you must license your dog. Please bring in proof of your dog's up to date rabies vaccinations. Cost of the license is $5.00 and it expires one year from date of issuance. It is the pet owner's responsibility to keep the license up to date.
