**Safe Routes to School Sidewalk Project 2021 UPDATE** The sidewalk project which was scheduled to begin soon, has been postponed until August. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE ANY ENGINEERING STAKES THAT WERE RECENTLY PLACED MARKING THE PATH OF THE SIDEWALKS, AS THIS WILL ONLY RESULT IN MORE EXPENSE TO REPLACE THEM. Thank you once again for your patience as we work to make these improvements to our City.
Planning Commission Meeting Changes-- There will be an additional Planning Commission Meeting on Tuesday, June 22 and the July meeting has been moved to July 20, both at 7:00pm at City Hall.
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE UTILITY MARKING FLAGS!! WE REALIZE THAT RESIDENTS ARE CUTTING GRASS NOW AND IT IS INCONVENIENT TO HAVE TO MOW AROUND FLAGS AND STAKES, BUT WE ASK THAT YOU DO NOT REMOVE THEM. THEY WILL BE REMOVED AS SOON AS CONSTRUCTION IN THAT AREA IS COMPLETE AND IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. THANK YOU.

WATER MAIN PROJECT EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF
Be advised that your water service may be interrupted, for emergency purposes, during construction. Due to the age of the water main system and the components that are being replaced, occasionally the water main may have to be shut down. Every attempt is being made to maintain an established schedule, of which you will be notified by the placement of a door hanger. Due to the deterioration of the system, emergency measures may need to be taken involving a larger area than scheduled. For after hours emergencies, please call 734 260-8271. We appreciate your patience during this construction project and welcome any comments or questions you may have.

Announcement: The City of Petersburg asks that you please refrain from burning leaves within the city during 11:30-3:00 on school days especially if you live near the school.
