The City of Knox Water Department crews will begin flushing fire hydrants throughout the city beginning on Tuesday, October 15 and continue through Friday, October 25. During this process, tap water may appear brown. The water can be cleared up by running cold water from a bathtub or an outside faucet. If you have any questions, contact the Mayor’s office at 574-772-4553 or the Water Department at 574-772-3032.
Additionally, Fall leaf pick-up for the City of Knox will begin Tuesday, October 15.
Place all leaves in front of the residence next to the curb on the street in a long row, not in the alley. Do NOT bag the leaves as the garbage contractors will not pick up bagged leaves. Remember to keep all trash out of leaf piles so the vacuum can pick up the leaves.
Branches and limbs will be picked up each Thursday by the Knox City Street Department.
For those who wish to drop off leaves, grass, garden material, or brush at the city compost pile, remove leaves and grass from any bags or containers before putting them in the designated area behind City Hall at the corner of Shield and Mound Streets.
The City will not take brush remaining from professional tree removal jobs. This material is the responsibility of the removal company.
