Dark Sky, Fall Clean-Up Day, Treats in the Streets, Gas Line Upgrade, Water & Sewer & Garbage Rates

  Dark Sky Ordinance Not long ago the city council passed a revised dark sky ordinance. We'd like to keep the light pollution to a minimum in the city so we can enjoy the night skies of our beautiful corner of Idaho. If you've seen the great new high school soccer facility at the new junior high at night, you've seen what lights that follow such a dark sky policy can look like. The lights light up the pitch perfectly, but leave the surrounding areas enjoyably dark. It's fantastic! I took the photo above, looking west from over by the old sugar factory. If my camera were better, you would be able to see stars above the lights in the night sky as I could. Fall Clean-Up Day Fall clean-up day is Monday, October 17th. Items can be put out for pick up one week in advance. Please contact city hall for more information. Treats in the Streets Thursday, October 20th from 4-7pm will be the city "Treats in the Street" celebration. Center Street will be closed and business
