City of Lennox -

After we got some much needed rain and our sump pumps got put to work; we would like to share this reminder about our sump pump connection ordinance. Please see below for the exact wording of Ordinance 8.0304(H)

"Connections between roof downspouts, foundation drains,
areaway drains, garage floor drains, sump pumps, or other sources of surface runoff
or groundwater, and the public sanitary sewer, whether directly or indirectly, are
prohibited. In certain locations or situations where surface water discharge would
create a safety hazard during freezing weather, connection to the sanitary sewer line
may be permitted by the Utilities Superintendent.

Any person, owner, lessee or occupant who has presently made or permitted to be
made, or shall make or permit to be made, any connection or installation in violation
of Section 8.0304(H) shall immediately remove that connection or correct that
installation. If not removed or corrected within ten (10) calendar days after notice
of violation has been delivered personally or by certified mail to that person, owner,
lessee or occupant, the City shall impose a surcharge of five hundred dollars ($500)
per month on the sewer bill of the property owners who are not in compliance. All
properties found during regular or periodic re-inspection programs that violate
Section 8.0304(H) will be subject, at the discretion of the City, to the imposition of
the monthly fee for all months between the two most recent inspections."

You've probably seen the signage but if you haven't here is your heads up!! This project includes several roadway improvements on Hwy 44 and is tentatively scheduled to be completed in October

The east–west segment from 280th Street to Interstate 29 will be milled and resurfaced to provide a smoother, safer ride for travelers. and the dotted blue line is the designated detoured route leading into town.
