Old Man Winter has finally arrived in Osawatomie and he's brought a number of service and operation disruptions alongside him! Please check this announcement often for updated information regarding the season's first winter weather event and how it may be impacting your neighborhood.
Notices for Wednesday, January 10th, 2024
Waste Management Service Notice (Updated 2:05pm)
Waste Management will be attempting recycling and trash collection Thursday and Friday, but local conditions (such as snow packed corrals or impassable alleys) or further inclement weather may delay pickup.
IF your recycling or trash isn't collected this week, please hold onto the material until regular collection resumes next week.
Notices for Tuesday, January 9th, 2024
Municipal Court Cancelled (Updated 1:26pm)
Osawatomie Municipal Court has issued a notice of cancellation for Wednesday, January 10th, 2024, due to the ongoing inclement weather. If you have questions about your scheduled court appearance, please reach out to our Court Clerk at (913) 755 - 3695 or send an email to [email protected].
Waste Management Delaying Service (Updated 10:45am)
Due to the accumulated snow, Waste Management has cancelled all regional routes for Tuesday, January 9th. This will cause a ONE DAY DELAY of ALL SERVICES for Osawatomie residents as Waste Management crews resume operations following the winter storm later this week.
Commission Meeting Rescheduled (Updated 9:57am)
The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting originally scheduled for this evening has been rescheduled to Tuesday, January 16th, 2024 due to the continuing winter weather. You can read the agenda here.
Public Works Team Plowing, Treating Roadways (Updated 9:08am)
Our Public Works team has been out since 1:00am treating and plowing streets and intersections. Per our winter weather procedures, main thoroughfares and high traffic intersections receive priority treatment before plows will move into residential neighborhoods or side streets.
Where ever possible, please park cars off the street ahead of/during snow events -- this makes it much easier for our 8' and 10' plows to quickly and efficiently complete their routes. If you can, please utilize your driveways, car ports, garages, and alley parking!
