Monday, November 11th is Veterans' Day. We want to express our gratitude to all those who have served or are currently enlisted. Thank you for your service! If you know a local veteran, please feel free to recognize them here in the comments.
In their honor, City Hall and our affiliated offices will be closed on the 11th. Trash normally picked up on Monday will be picked up on Tuesday this week. Emergency services will remain in operation as usual.
We also want to remind you that Monday is the last scheduled last day of Fall Cleanup! Mother Nature is being generous with her extended time to get our lawns prepped for winter this year. Take advantage of the weather and this debris pickup service while you still can.

7:00am Friday Sewer Line UPDATE: Early this morning, our dedicated staff along with the crews of the contractor were able to locate and repair the broken section of sewer line. Rexburg Rapids and the splash pad at Porter Park will resume operations today with their normal hours. We thank everyone involved for their hard work and we thank the community for their patience and assistance. We hope you have a great weekend!
5:10pm Sewer Line UPDATE: Crews are still actively working on the sewer line break; they are currently attempting to reach the point of the line break, but water flow is working against them. At this time, we are asking residents to stop any activities that allow water to access the drain. This includes indoor and outdoor water use that would go to the drain. Once the crews are able to reach the break, we hope to know more information. We appreciate everyone's patience and assistance as our teams work on necessary repairs.
Out of an abundance of caution, Rexburg Rapids and the splash pad at Porter Park will be closed for the remainder of the day.
