If the answer is no, then you may be interested in a new program <br />called the Watch Your Car program. This is a national vehicle theft <br />prevention program funded by the US Dept. of Justice. It has been <br />designed as a voluntary vehicle registration program to deter auto theft <br />and assist in the apprehension of auto thieves. <br />Vehicle owners must register in the program stating that their <br />vehicle is not normally used between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 <br />a.m. An identification sticl(er is placed on the windshield. If a police <br />officer observes the vehicle being driven during these hours, they may <br />stop the vehicle to verify the owner is operating it, or a person designated <br />by the owner. <br />To register for the program - contact Chandra Kreyer at <br />the Ramsey Police Department at 763-433-9891 or <br />claeyer@ci.ramsey.mn. us. <br /> <br />WATER CONSERVATION <br /> <br />To reduce peak water usage in areas <br />served by the municipal water system, the City <br />of Ramsey has implemented an odd/even day <br />sprinkling ban, pursuant to City Code 4.40.06 <br />subd. 10. The sprinkling ban will be in effect <br />from Memorial day until after Labor Day. <br />Residents may water on odd numbered <br />days if their address ends in an odd number, and <br />on even numbered days if their address ends in <br />an even number. <br />The sprinl(ling restriction includes no <br />watering between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. <br />since a significant amount of water is lost due to <br />evaporation during the hottest times of the day. <br />Homeowners with automated systems are <br />strongly encouraged to program them to operate <br />after 10:00 p.m. This minimizes evaporation and <br />lessens peal( demand on the system. <br />In addition to the residential sprinkling <br />ban, the City is in the process of implementing <br />an irrigation policy that is specific to townhouse, <br />multifamily residential and commercial <br />connections to the municipal water supply that <br />requires that: <br />. All irrigation systems must install an <br />approved backflow device <br />. All irrigation systems must include a <br />Rain Sensor device to prevent irrigation <br />systems from operating during rain <br />events. <br /> <br />PLEASE NOTE <br /> <br />Due to the high volume of building in <br />our community, the City requires at least two to <br />three days notice for all building inspections and <br />five to six days for building permit approval. <br /> <br />RUM RIvER LIBRARY <br /> <br />The Rum River Library is located at <br />4201- 6th Avenue North on the comer of County <br />Road # 116 (Bunker Lake Boulevard) and 7th <br />Avenue North (County Road #7) for more <br />information call 763-576-4695. <br /> <br />There s a fine line between courage and foolishness. Too bad it s not a fence. - Anonyn10us <br />
