Stop the Food Waste Challenge <br />ORGANICS RECYCLE RIGHT? <br />NO! Pet Litter & Poop <br />Always toss pet and animal droppings/poop/bedding into the trash <br />and not into your organics cart or backyard composting bin. <br />Have a question on recycling? Visit Washington County <br />Environmental Centers here. <br />Watering Season and Irrigation <br />Lake Elmo City Watering Ordinance allows properties connected to <br />the city water system to irrigate twice a week, as indicated on the <br />city's irrigation zone map. Irrigation is restricted from 5:00 a.m. to <br />5:00 p.m. Hand watering is permitted at any time, and new sod <br />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 />What Do My Taxes Pay For? <br />The City Council adopted the 2025 Tax Levy on December 17.
