city ordinance allows properties connected to the city water <br />system to irrigate 2 days per week (according to the city <br />irrigation zone map). Irrigation is restricted from the hours of <br />5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Hand watering is allowed at any time, <br />and new sod waivers are available if needed. <br />Using a smart irrigation controller device can further reduce <br />your water usage. For more information on watering <br />restrictions, please visit lakeelmo.gov. <br />Thank you for doing your part to ensure we all have sufficient <br />drinking water and fire protection. <br />April 21 - 25 is National Work Zone <br />Awareness Week <br />As we move into summer and road construction, it's important <br />to stay alert and respect the work zones while driving. <br />​National Work Zone Awareness Week is a nationwide <br />campaign that highlights the importance of roadway work zone <br />safety through education, events, and awareness. <br />Learn more here. <br />Mosquito Season is Coming <br />The snow has melted, and the Metropolitan Mosquito Control <br />District (MMCD) is working on preventative measures to <br />reduce the summer onslaught of nuisance and disease- <br />carrying mosquitoes in the Twin Cities. <br />An added tool to assist with operations this year will be the <br />addition of more treatment drones to the MMCD fleet. For the <br />first time in 2025, drones will be used to treat mosquito larvae <br />in standing water in every county of the District. <br />MMCD trucks, helicopters, drones, and staff may be seen in <br />neighborhoods, parks, and near wetlands. This year, MMCD <br />expanded its UAS/drone program, and it will now be active in <br />every county so that residents can see them more regularly. <br />At times, MMCD employees may need to cross private property <br />to access and check areas for mosquito larvae. If you have <br />questions about mosquito control activities or concerns about <br />an employee, please call the MMCD front desk at (651) 645- <br />9149 or visit MMCD.org. <br />Bay West to Partner with the City to test PFAS Destruction Technology <br />On February 4, 2025, Bay West, a nationally acclaimed environmental consulting and remediation firm, <br />presented a Site Access Request to the Lake Elmo City Council to test PFAS destruction using the General <br />Atomics PERSES™ system at the public works facility located at 3445 Ideal Ave in Lake Elmo.
