January is gone and February is here, I wish spring was just around the corner, but I don’t think so. As many of you saw last week we had our sewer system flushed and the lines then photographed. This is the first of the requirements by the department of Ecology to meet their standards for future grants. The results from the study should be in by the next time the Clipper is published, and we will let you know what it says.

Just a note to parents of children with electric scooters, they are required to obey all motor vehicle laws and regulations. Please remind your children.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who in one way or another helped to make the Christmas Season a grand one for all. It is what makes LaCrosse unique, people helping people.

Remember to drive safely, and watch out for the kids in the mornings and afternoons.
