Notice on Recycling Pick Up

July 16, 2018 By Fountain City

Attention Fountain City Residents and Businesses

UPDATE 7/25/18: Bins will not be picked up today as noticed. The recycling contractors negotiated keeping the same bins as you have now. To clarify: the bins will not be picked up, you will keep them and recycling pick up will continue as normal however with a new company.

The City of Fountain City is changing contractors for recycling services this July. All recycling bins and carts will be picked up July 25th, 2018 when recyclables are collected. New bins and carts will be issued by Waste Transport prior to the first scheduled pickup in August.

The new recycling bins are owned by Waste Transport and property owners are responsible for carts and bins provided. You will be charged for any lost, stolen or broken carts or bins. If you are not using recycling bins or carts please contact city hall to arrange for pick-up.

A reminder that pick-up dates are circled on the recycling calendar and bins/carts are to be put out at curbside by 7:00am to ensure you are not missed. For more information on recycling please click here.

Public Notice – Plugged Sewer Lines

June 10, 2018 By Fountain City

Notice from City of Fountain City Public Works Department:

Please help our Waste Water Treatment Plant run as smoothly as possible by disposing of non-flushable items properly. Below is an example of what causes our sewer lines to backup and creates pump issues. In this image you are seeing a plugged pump from rags and medical supplies. This is very hard on our system and can cause a good deal of damage.

Every property owner connected to the city system contributes to possible problems and could be a potential victim for those problems. Putting the wrong things down the drain can cause sewer backups, damage to sewer system or sewer releases into the environment.

It’s pretty simple what should go down the toilet, human waste and toilet paper. That’s it. Here is a list of items to keep out of the toilet that are common problems:

  • disposable diapers
  • tampons and tampon applicators
  • sanitary napkins
  • cotton balls and swabs
  • condoms
  • cleaning wipes of any kind
  • facial tissue
  • bandages and bandage wrappings
  • medical supplies of any kind
  • automotive fluids
  • paint, solvents, sealants and thinners
  • poisons and hazardous waste
  • pet poop
  • unused medications
  • fats, oils or grease

 

Street Maintenance

May 21, 2018 By Fountain City

Street maintenance will be taking place in the upcoming weeks. Bearing good weather the projects should move along fairly quickly. Projects include street sweeping and replacing asphalt on portions of Main St. and Liberty St.

We kindly ask for your patience while these projects move forward and will update on this website as more information becomes available. We look forward to cleaner street shoulders and some brand new pavement!

Volunteers are needed! Please consider helping. Volunteers will be treated to lunch following the clean up. If possible, we ask volunteers to bring along a pair of gloves, rakes, clippers or general yard tools. Rain date is June 3rd from noon to 3:00pm.
