May 27, 2021
Hello,
Tomorrow, Friday, May 28, 2021, City offices will be closed for our final furlough day. Our offices will also be closed on Monday, May 31, 2021, in observance of Memorial Day.
Although a formal in-person Memorial Day ceremony is not scheduled, residents are encouraged to visit Veteran’s Memorial Park at 2801 Broadway Street, or any other outdoor space, at 9 AM. The United States Air Force will conduct a flyover in honor of all who have paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. Residents are also encouraged to attend an in-person ceremony scheduled for 11 AM at the Vallejo Veterans Memorial Park, 555 Santa Clara Street in Vallejo.
On Tuesday, June 1, 2021, the City Council will consider declaring a Stage 1 Drought Emergency for American Canyon. All customers (residential, commercial/industrial, and governmental) will be asked to voluntarily reduce their water usage by 10%. We have a new customer portal to help residents track their water consumption. Signing up is easy and free. Significant water leaks that show no other indications they exist can be found through the use of this portal. If you see activity in the middle of the night (when everyone is sleeping), that means you have a leaky toilet or faucet. That’s an easy fix that can save hundreds of gallons of water per day!
Here are some simple ways you can be smart and thoughtful with your water use:
- Replace your old toilet with a new low-flow toilet (Toilet Rebate Program).
- Limit watering on turf to 2 days per week, no more than 2 minutes per zone, between 6 PM-6 AM. Be sure to check for leaks, and adjust sprinkler heads to avoid overspray.
- Better yet, get paid to replace that thirsty turf with beautiful, native, drought-tolerant landscaping (Cash for Grass Program).
- Limit the duration of showers to 5 minutes or less, turning off the faucet when brushing teeth, and flush toilets only when necessary each day.
June 15 marks the reopening of industry and business sectors through the Beyond the Blueprint Framework for California. California Department of Public Health provided updated guidance to help clarify the guidelines in place until June 15.
Take care,
Jason Holley City Manager
