east of Lily Avenue N). This site is utilized as an odorizing station where the odorant
(mercaptan) is added to the pipeline. Mercaptan smells similar to rotten eggs. Residents in
the area can expect strong odors of mercaptan in the area while this work is being
performed. The natural gas pipeline will continue to be in operation as the work goes on.
The time line for this work is Tuesday, August 2nd – Saturday, August 5th.

Keats Avenue is planned to

posted.
Water Rebate Program
The City of Lake Elmo, in partnership with the
Metropolitan Council, is offering a rebate program for
purchases of eligible water efficient products. The goal of
the water efficiency grant program is to improve
municipal water use. This funding has enabled Lake
Elmo to provide a rebate to current water customers who
replace existing devices with specified water efficient
products. Qualifying purchases are eligible for a rebate
on your water bill. More information is available on the
City's website via the link below.

our storm drains clean through the
