A lagoon is used for sewage disposal, and although land is available for enlargement of lagoon cells, the present system is being operated at a level far below its capacity. Surface run‑off water is handled by a system of storm sewers.
Garbage collection is a city operation. Collections are made twice weekly. The sanitary landfill of 43 acres is projected to meet the city's needs for years to come. As a beautification measure, tree planting has been made at the site, and the area, two miles out of town, has been fenced.
