Fireworks
Along with Govenor Noem, we have been monitoring today's weather forecast. Although Canton is in the area forecasting 1 to 1 and a 1/2 inches of rain, weather patterns can change in a heartbeat. The Southeast corner of the state is predicted to get 2 to 3 inches, hopefully that front won't be moving North to Canton. We are putting everyone on alert in case the weather takes a turn for the worst. The Fire Department, and Police Department have been alerted in case the weather changes, and City crews are continuing to pump throughout the week.

Mosquito Control
From the mayor in conjunction with the public works director. With our main lift station levels receding, we are at a point where we need to monitor the sewer and will determine later today if we can ease restrictions. The laundromat currently will remain open, but we are still asking that citizens still be cognizant of water usage in their homes. At this time, we are requesting the car washes remain closed, until a determination is made later today on the water restrictions. We also want to let citizens know that we do have a spare pump and have access to more pumps if the need arises today, over the weekend, or on Monday with the possibility of rain. We appreciate your patience during this time.
