(1) Due to a combination of the absence of rainfall and cooperation by Frederick residents in reducing the use of the sanitary system system, the flooding conditions at the East Sewage Lagoons has improved substantially since last Friday. However, with the continuing prospects of additional rainfall, Frederick residences are requested to continue in restricting the use of the sanitary sewer system until further notice. Thank you for your continuing cooperation!

(2) Real time information regarding the present level of Lake Frederick, and the precipitation in the Lake Frederick watershed are available from the following link: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site_no=07311415. Th lake crested at slightly more than 32 feet last Friday evening, with water running out the emergency spillway to protect the dam.

(3) Mosquito abatement activities commenced this morning with the placement of larvacide in areas of standing water. If the wind is not blowing too strongly this evening, mosquito fogging will take place.

Residents can greatly assist in this effort by emptying any water holding containers on their property and mowing their property as soon as frequently as possible.

(4) Due to the need to tend to other weather-related damages, limb

pickup by the City has been suspended. Residents with limbs which they would like to dispose of now may take them to the Street Department yard on S. 8th this week between the hours of 7 AM to 4 PM. Once the landfill dries out, limbs can be taken there again.

More information will be provided as it becomes available.
