Municipal Water Report .Available
T he annual water report is online at www. available at the reception desk in city hall. If you
ci.shorewood.mn.us and will be published have any questions regarding the information
in the legal section of the June 7 issue of the found in the water report, contact the city's Director
Excelsior - Shorewood Sun Sailor. A copy is also of Public Works, 952.960.7913
Road Construction in Full Swing
S ealcoating, mill and overlay, road patching, and
other major construction projects are taking
place throughout Shorewood. When your street is
directly affected by a construction project, the city
will notify you with a letter explaining necessary
precautions you must take, a general timeline,
and other important information. Unfortunately,
it is impossible to notify everyone who uses a
particular roadway, so keep informed by checking
the road projects updates on the city website,
under "Streets ".
It is important that drivers are aware that they
must slow down when driving through construction
zones. Construction crews are concentrating on
the project they are working on and, although
they try to keep an eye on traffic, they are often
distracted and may not see your vehicle. If you
have young drivers in the household, make sure
you review construction area driving safety with
them. It is also a good idea to put down the cell
phone when driving through road construction
areas so you can focus on any sudden hazards.
If you have a question about a Shorewood road
project, feel free to call city hall, 952.960.7900, or
email jlandini @ci.shorewood.mn.us.
Moving Wood Regulated in the County
urrently it seems the Emerald Ash Borer has
remained toward the east side of Hennepin
County. To slow the progress of the ash borer's
move west, the Minnesota Department of
Agriculture quarantined the movement of some
wood out of the county. Regulations of this
quarantine are:
1. The Emerald Ash Borer in any living stage of
development.
2. Entire ash trees.
3. Ash limbs and branches.
4. Ash logs or untreated ash lumber with bark
attached.
5. Uncomposted ash chips and uncomposted ash
bark chips larger than one inch in diameter in
two dimensions.
6. Any article, product or means of conveyance
when it is determined by the Commissioner to
present the risk of spread of the emerald ash
borer.
7. Firewood of any non - coniferous (hardwood)
species.
The emergency quarantine applies to movement
of these materials by any entity for commercial,
recreational or any other purpose.
In Shorewood we are in the unique position of
having Carver County as a boundry. Unfortunately
this makes the drop off locations for wood west of
Shorewood inconvenient, because you may not
transport through Carver County. To transport the
wood to west Hennepin drop off locations, you
must enter through Mound. Drop off locations for
tree waste are available on the city web site under
"Yard and Tree Care ", or contact your garbage
hauler. If you have questions, please contact the
city, 952.960.7900.

Recycling is Everywhere
I t is now easier to find recycling
containers away from home.
Many stores, parks, gas stations
and businesses offer recycling.
There are also recycling drop
off centers for large quantities of
recycling you might have from a
recent move or special event.
The key to recycling away
from home is to make sure the
item you are recycling is able to
be recycled at that location. For
example, the gas station might
have a container which accepts
cans and plastic bottles. Help them

center org, or call 952.474.7635.
keep the recycling clean by not
putting your fast food cups, straws
and napkins in the container. In
the park recycling containers there
are often food stained plates,
candy wrappers, and fast food
packaging. This contamination
can result in the entire recycling
load becoming trash.
Read the labels and signs on or
around the recycling containers.
Often it is quite clear what should
be recycled if we take the time
to look. Keep a bag in your car
for items that you know you can

of it in the recycling cart at home.

t s summer and a great time to get out and enjoy the
parks, trails, and scenery Shorewood offers. The city
reminds residents to keep safe while being active. The
following tips are just a few reminders:
• Always wear a bike helmet when riding. No one
plans to fall.
• Limit your use of headphones when riding, walking,
or jogging so you are able to be aware of your
surroundings.
• Walk facing oncoming traffic; ride bikes with the
flow of traffic.
• Follow all traffic signals. A stop sign means stop!
Check for more tips on the city web site under Playing
in Shorewood!
