Farmington Considers Offering Curbside Garbage Pickup

The Town of Farmington is considering offering weekly curbside garbage pickup for town residents. The service would come at a monthly charge of $10.95 for each residence.
Town supervisors are seeking input from residents on the issue.
“The Town Board can do this, but we would like to know how people feel,” Town Chairman Chris Elbe said.
Farmington currently offers recycling pickup twice a month at no charge for approximately 1,300 homes in the township. The town board budgeted about $64,000 for 2019 to cover the recycling service.

The Big Melt
Water creeped over the banks of the Milwaukee River as snow and ice melted when warmer temperatures reached Kewaskum last week.
Over the past week, temperatures rose above freezing, beginning last Wednesday. The warming trend and heavy rainfall caused high waters across the area.
