MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
City Utilities hosting series of meetings about long term control plan
City Utilities will host a series of introductory public meetings to inform and educate City Utilities customers about the City’s long term control plan to significantly reduce combined sewer overflow into Fort Wayne’s waterways. This 18-year plan will invest nearly $240 million in clean-water infrastructure that will eliminate up to 90% of the untreated sewage now flowing into our rivers and streams from sewers that carry both raw and storm sewage.
Each meeting will have a 20-minute presentation that provides an overview of the plan. Some locations will feature plans specific to the neighborhood. City Utilities staff will be available at each meeting to answer questions.
All meetings start at 6:30 p.m. The meetings will be at:
•Thursday, June 12, Northeast Area Partnership, Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, 4700 Vance Ave.
•Monday, June 16, Shawnee Branch Library
•Thursday, June 19, Northwest Area Partnership, North Ridge Baptist Church, 1300 E. Cook Road
•Monday, June 23, Little Turtle Library; Staffed display and information will be available at this library from 2:00 until meeting time.
•Tuesday, June 24, Georgetown Library
•Thursday, June 26, Pontiac Library
•Monday, July 7, Dupont Library; Staffed display and information will be available at this library from 2:00 until meeting time.
311 weed
requests now online
In the last Message from the Mayor, I let Waynedale residents know about how 311 now offers online reporting tools. We’ve now added the 7 reporting tool to the Web site. Less than a month after launching the online request, the City of Fort Wayne has added a weed reporting tool.
To report weeds within the City limits, click on the 311 logo on the homepage of www.cityoffortwayne.org with the street address or location of the weeds or high grass. A link to the online reporting tool is also available from the Summer Weeds page of the Neighborhood Code Enforcement section of the City’s Web site.
Weeds join reports of potholes, missed garbage or recycling collection, abandoned vehicles on public or private property, or a streetlight out as online reporting forms, which are some of the most frequent 311 calls.
The 311 call center, “one call to city hall,” handles non-emergency service requests from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Every report is assigned a tracking number to provide accountability and follow through.
The call center can be reached by calling 311 within the City limits or at (260) 427-8311. The center’s e-mail address is 311@cityoffortwayne.org.
