Find the Lake Elmo Crosswalk Policy, adopted by the city council on <br />December 3, 2024, here. <br />Watering and Irrigation Season <br />The irrigation season is upon us; please note that the city ordinance <br />allows properties connected to the city water system to irrigate twice <br />a week, as indicated on the city's irrigation zone map. Irrigation is <br />restricted from the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Hand watering is <br />allowed at any time, and new sod waivers are available if needed. <br />Using a smart irrigation controller device can further reduce your <br />water usage. For more information on watering restrictions, please <br />visit lakeelmo.gov. <br />Thank you for doing your part to ensure we all have sufficient <br />drinking water and fire protection. <br />Important Notice - Utility Rate Change <br />You will see an increase in your utility rates reflected on your 2025 <br />Quarter 1 statement. <br />In a concentrated effort to secure funding for the operations and <br />maintenance of Lake Elmo's water treatment facilities and to place the <br />utility funds on a more stable long-term footing- the City Council <br />accepted the finance department’s recommendation for a rate <br />increase in the water and sewer funds, effective with the Quarter 1 <br />bills this April. No increases are planned for stormwater fees in 2025. <br /> <br />Learn more about rate changes and sample calculations at Lakeelmo.gov. <br />May Recycling Focus - Plastic Bags <br />Plastic bags are the most common unacceptable item found in the <br />recycling bin. Please don't put them in your curbside bin. Instead, <br />drop off plastic bags at local retailers, including grocery stores, <br />supermarkets, retail stores, convenience stores, and drug stores. <br />These are all common places to find plastic bag recycling bins. <br />LIFE IN LAKE ELMO <br />OUT AND ABOUT <br />Master Gardeners Plant Sale <br />Mark your calendars now for the annual Plant Sale and Garden Expo from <br />9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, hosted by the University of <br />Minnesota Extension Washington County Master Gardener Volunteer <br />program.
