Fall is here, and that means the end of splash pad season in the City of Knox. Mayor Dennis Estok told the city council that the splash pad was shutting down for the season earlier this week. “We were going to let it ride until over the weekend, but the weekend’s supposed to get cold,” he said. “And right now, you’ll see maybe one or two people on it and that’s about it. So we are going to be shutting down a little earlier than what we thought.”
Meanwhile, Clerk-Treasurer Jeff Houston reminded residents that the summer sprinkling credit ended last Monday. It provides a reduction on sewer fees for increased water usage during a four-month period each summer.
