Watering Ordinance
Lawn watering uses a significant portion of oui
water supply. It is important that residents and
businesses follow the city's watering ordinance.
This allows Shorewood's water
system not only an adequate
opportunity to replenish the
supply in the city's water storage
tanks, but also ensures there is
enough water for all uses.
The city's ordinance states
that residents and businesses
can water before 11:00 a.m.
and after 4:30 p.m., May 1 -
September 30. Residents should work with their
sprinkler system provider to make sure watering
times are scheduled to water within ordinance
in

hours. Remember to check the timer on your
watering system after power outages so that you
are not in violation of the restriction.
Fees for violating the water use
restrictions are determined bythe number
of water restriction violations issued to the

Here comes road construction
Island road project
T he city continues work on the
feasibility report for the island
street reclamation project. As a
part of plan development, when
historical sites or locations are
identified, even if they are not
going to be disturbed as part of
the project, state law requires that
a survey be completed of the sites.
The city is in the initial phase of
that investigation and will continue
to keep residents informed of
developments through the email
notification system. Please make
sure you are signed up in the
Constant Contact email system
to receive island road updates.
Register your email from the

any questions, please contact
City Engineer Alyson Fauske at

Relief from pothole
This past winter was particularly
tough on city streets. As a result,
the city is considering options to
reallocate some of the sealcoat
funds to do an overlay project
on some city streets. This is
being done to improve the life of
the road for three to five years,
rather than having to patch and
fill potholes on those roads. The
estimated $550,000 available is
not enough to allow the overlay
of all roads that need it, but staff
is working on trying to stretch
Shorewood is bee safe
Shorewood is proud to be the
first city in Minnesota and
the third in the nation to pass a
Bee Safe City resolution. Since
that time many communities have
followed.
As a Bee Safe City, Shorewood
pledged to not use neonicotinoid
pesticides on city properties, to
purchase plants and trees that are
neonictinoid free, and to educate
our residents on bee and pollinator
safety. The city website has best
practices and tips for residents.
Go to www.ci.shorewood.mn.us /
beesafe.
An easy way to help is to
participate in bee identification.
Simply use your phone or a camera
and snap pictures of bees in your
yard or park. To submit photos, you
will first need to create an account

the dollars as far as possible to
improve rideability for particularly
bad stretches of streets, or roads
that are well - traveled. Once a plan
is developed and approved by the
City Council, the city will notify
residents in those areas.
The city will continue to repair
potholes, and residents are
encouraged to use the SeeClickFix
reporting tool on the website to
report potholes on city roads.
Access SeeClickFix from the app
store on your phone, or from the
city website under "I Want To:
SeeClickFix ". Major potholes are
repaired as soon as crews can
respond using a temporary cold
patch. Potholes that are not as
deep require a hot mix patch which
cannot be used until the ground
temperature is consistently over
50 degrees. If you do not have
internet access, please contact
the city at 952.960.7900 to log a
pothole report.

Secure Residential
Paper Shredding
Saturday, May 18
FREE 9 a.m. -12 p.m.
Shorewood City Hall, 5755 Country Club Road
Here's how it works:
• Gather up all of your old files, tax returns, bank statements and any other secure papers you may have
(newspapers and non - secure papers should be put in your recycling cart and not brought for shredding).
• Bring the items in paper bags or boxes to the city hall parking lot (bags will be returned).
• Cones will be set up to direct you in one driveway.
• Stay in your vehicle - volunteers will remove your paper for the shred truck.
What to Shred (and what not to)
Although opinions differ on exactly what to shred, basically know that you should shred any documents containing
signatures, account numbers, social security numbers, credit information, and any legal or medical information (includ-
ing tax forms, checks, pay stubs, etc.). General mail, catalogs and flyers do not need to be shredded, and are better
recycled curbside. When possible tear off the account information or name and address, recycle the remaining paper
rather than shredding the entire piece. Contact cityha110ci.shorewood.mn.us, 952.960.7900, with questions.
What you need to know
• Event will close during dangerous weather.
• You will drive your vehicle into our facility for the
process where our staff and volunteers will unload
it for you. Witnessed destruction can happen at
that time, if so desired.
• Paper only. Please do not bring any 3 ring binders,
plastics, trash or other non -paper items
• NO PLASTIC BAGS!
• All shredded paper is baled and shipped directly to
the paper mill for recycling.
• We make every effort to meet the shredding needs
of residents, but if both trucks fill the event will
close prior to 12 p.m.
