To properly dispose of chlorinated water: <br />Stop adding chlorine and leave your pool or spa <br />uncovered for 3-5 days. The chlorine should <br />naturally break-down during this time. Alternately, <br />you can add a de-chlorinating chemical to treat the <br />water more quickly. <br />Once water is de-chlorinated, you can safely discharge <br />it to a sanitary sewer or storm sewer. If possible, allow <br />the water to flow over a vegetated surface first so that <br />some is able to soak into the ground. <br />Bee Lawns & Lawn Alternatives <br />Have you heard the "buzz" about low-mow grass, <br />bee-friendly lawns, and other turf alternatives? <br />During this free webinar, we'll talk about the pros <br />and cons of different types of lawn and provide <br />guidance on transforming your conventional lawn <br />into a low-mow or bee-friendly landscape this fall. <br />Presented by: James Wolfin, an entomologist and <br />sustainable land care manager at Metro Blooms <br />and Angie Hong, water education specialist with <br />East Metro Water Education Program <br />September 15, 6-730PM Register Here <br />Metropolitan Mosquito Control <br />District trucks, helicopters, and <br />staff will be out in neighborhoods <br />and parks this summer working to <br />reduce mosquito-borne disease <br />and annoyance. <br />Summer weather in Minnesota means we are <br />starting to see an increase in mosquitoes and the <br />Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD) will <br />be out conducting surveillance and treatment <br />activities to reduce the risk of disease and <br />annoyance in an environmentally-sensitive <br />manner. <br />Each year the field staff at MMCD monitors and <br />treats wetlands that breed mosquitoes with a fleet <br />of trucks and helicopters. With many people still <br />working from home during the weekday due to the <br />COVID-19 pandemic, more people may notice <br />MMCD activities in local neighborhoods and parks. <br />At times MMCD employees may need to cross <br />private property for access to check and treat <br />areas for mosquito larvae. MMCD management <br />asks the community to please stay several feet <br />away from field staff and ensure children and pets <br />are kept at a distance. If you have questions about <br />mosquito control activities or concerns about an <br />employee, please call the MMCD front desk at <br />(651) 645-9149 or visit MMCD.org. <br />New Interactive Parks and Trails <br />Map <br />In 2021 the City introduced a new
