To Help Prevent the Spread of H1N1

Smoky Lake County is taking a proactive approach to the upcoming influenza N1H1 strain that is expected to hit during this fall season.  Residents, who are feeling the onset of flu-like systems, are encouraged to avoid coming to the County Office to pay their utility or tax bills. Bills can be paid in alternative ways from the comfort of your home:

·       Internet Banking can be set up with the help of your local bank; and

·       Telephone Banking can be set up with the help of your local bank.

Whether you have flu symptoms or not, you should:

·       Cover your cough by coughing into your elbow or sleeve or use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing and discard tissue.

·       Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing.  Hand sanitizers are also effective.

·       Reduce the spread of germs by limiting toughing your eyes, nose or mouth and by washing your hands frequently.

·       Maintain your health by taking care of yourself and those in your care, including eating a healthy balanced diet, avoiding cigarette smoke and other harmful substances, being active and getting enough sleep.

Further information on H1N1 and maintaining public health and safety during this flu season is available through the County Office.  For further information, contact:

Grass Cutting in Road

Right-of-Ways
County staff will maintain the responsibility of cutting the grass in the road right-of-ways.  However, land owners or renters may cut the grass in County right-of-ways adjacent to their land.  Persons wishing to cut in right-of-ways not adjacent to their own land must get written permission of the adjacent land owner prior to doing so.

 

Gravel Truck Courtesy

When approaching a gravel truck with flashing lights, please stop and allow ample room for the safe completion of the spread of the gravel. 

The driver will accommodate the passing of vehicles at reasonable intervals to ensure safe passage of vehicles.

This practice allows for the safety of travelers and operators and also allows for the consistent laying of material on the roadway.

 

Signs & Road Damage

If you see any damaged or missing roadway signs and / or damage to County roadways, please contact the Public Works Shop at 656-3755

Snow Plowing

With the amount of snowfall this year already, the County asks residents that plow the snow at their driveway entrances to have snow moved well into the right hand corner of the entrance’s ditch.

This improves the ability for our grader operators to lessen the amount of snow left at driveway entrances, while grading County roads.

In addition, residents are asked to not leave ridges of snow on the County roads.

 

Snowmobile Reminders

Please be advised that snowmobiles are to keep to designated routes and avoid trespassing on private property.
