Public Notices and Announcements

9/11/24
Attention City Residents:
 
There are two male individuals who properly obtained a 10-day peddling license (from 9/10/24 – 9/20/24) through the city. We’ve experienced concerns from residents stating these peddlers were needing credit card and or personal information to obtain solar credits on their Xcel Energy Bill. These solicitors are working for a 3rd party vendor selling subscriptions to a Community Solar Garden with off-setting production credits that would be reflected on a subscriber’s electric bill.
 
Xcel Energy currently does not have a rebate and unfortunately, does not have the ability to regulate these 3rd party vendors peddling. Community Solar Garden’s are available in Minnesota. See this link with more details on the program and how it works. https://mn.my.xcelenergy.com/.../solar-rewards-community
 
If Community Solar Garden’s sounds of interest to you, please read through the resource below on how to be prudent when working through processes along with questions to ask developers before giving out any personal information or signing up to subscribe. https://www.xcelenergy.com/.../MN-SRC-CERTS-Disclosure...

NEVER flush these items down your toilet!!!

SANITARY SEWER NOTICE:  You all are probably very familiar with the lack of toilet paper at area stores. This has resulted in some interesting discussions on social media about "alternate" product use from baby wipes, flushable wipes, and other household items. Please note that these products DO NOT BREAKDOWN like Toilet Paper and can cause sanitary sewer back ups which in turn can cause additional public health concerns.
PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH ITEMS OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER DOWN YOUR TOILETS.
