A Few Winter Reminders for Residents

Right-of-Way

With the pending onset of winter, the City of Wyoming is requesting that residents remove items from the street right-of-way (ROW), excluding mailboxes. The City’s ROW extends from the sidewalk on one side of the street to the sidewalk on the other side of the street.  

Items that should be removed include:

  • Basketball hoops
  • Trailers
  • Unlicensed vehicles
  • Leaf piles
  • Toys
  • Large rocks

These items can hinder winter maintenance activities such as snow removal. Per City ordinance, trash receptacles are allowed on trash pickup days, but are not to be left out at the curb all week.

City of Wyoming Will Be Flushing Water Mains for Several Weeks

Wyoming, Mich., August 16, 2011 – The City of Wyoming Public Works Department will be performing the water maintenance process of water main-flushing beginning on Sunday, August 21 and continuing for several weeks.

Crews will systematically operate, inspect and repair all 3,500 fire hydrants on the city’s water distribution system.  The work will take place each night, weather permitting, from 9 p.m. through 6:30 a.m. until all hydrants have been checked. They will be flushing the hydrants at their full capacity for a short time in order to flush any sediment from the water main. This maintenance work ensures good water quality throughout the system. 

Residents may notice cloudy or rusty water when they first turn on the tap in these affected neighborhoods.  Letting the water run for a minute or two usually clears the line.
