Public Services and Health

The Utilities Department is in the process of notifying approximately 64,000 customers who will be affected by shifts in the bulky waste collection schedule beginning March 1, 2026. Affected residents should have received postcards in late January detailing their new collection dates. Additionally, the Municipal Court continues to promote its penalty reduction program for those with outstanding warrants issued on or before December 31, 2022. On the health front, regional advisories remain in effect due to elevated rates of influenza and RSV; residents are urged to practice frequent handwashing and stay home if symptomatic.
