Pieper application -- the sequel

Wed, 18/02/2009 - 07:24 — lwrawebmaster

A line drawn from the transmitter just grazes the top of Treasure island and has to penetrate almost half a kilometer of foliage horizontally. So getting service here was a bit of a test case. 


Garbage collection schedule

The District has now switched back to the weekly garbage pickup schedule for the summer. Garbage and re-cycling are both picked up on Thursday mornings and should be out at the curb by 7am. Note: Hunt's road residents now again get garbage picked up at their driveway and the box has been removed for the summer.
