HALSTAD DOG PARK 

A new Dog Park has been created west of and adjacent to the former NCW Football/Baseball Fields.  Benches and pet waste stations are available.  Other pet waste disposal sites are being planned near the Post Office, and the Sugar Beet to help keep the city clean and to manage the sanitary disposal of pet waste in the community.  

 Reminder: Discharge of Sump Pump Water 


Drainage of sump pumps into the sanitary sewer is against City ordinance.  However, if necessary, to pump during winter months and if reasonable concerns that such pumping will result in freezing in unwanted locations, the City will allow conditional pumping in the city sanitary sewer system from October 15th to April 15th.  
Any household discharging into the sanitary sewer between April 15th to October 15th will be charged a $50 fee.  
Treating water through the sanitary sewer is costly and limits the sanitary sewer system’s capacity.  Drain sump water away from your home onto a non-erodible surface such as concrete so that it will drain into the street.  Discharging into your own yard may cause the water to return to your sump.  

Contact Halstad Municipal Utilities for Questions.

FIRE DEPARTMENT FUND RAISING EVENTS
The Halstad Fire Department's 1995 KME pumper truck had mechanical issues with the pump and gear box while on a fire call in April, and the cost to fix the pumper truck exceeded the value of the truck. The Halstad Fire Department purchased a different pumper truck, and the Fire Department is holding fundraisers to cover a portion of the unforeseen expense for the replacement pumper truck.
 
The Fire Department will be hosting two Vikings Football watch parties at the Halstad Community Center (LRC). 
      Thursday, December 9th at 7:20 pm  - Vikings vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Monday, December 20th at 7:15 pm  - Vikings vs. Chicago Bears
