This is an excellent way to meet other residents and to contribute in a very meaningful way to your community. For additional information regarding the duties and responsibilities of the Planning Commission, please call 763 -433- 9821. In order to be considered for a seat on the Planning Commission, please submit a letter of interest to the Human Resources Manager at City Hall, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, Ramsey, MN 55303, by September 15, 2003. FALL WATERMATh FLUSHING IN OCTOBER The Public Works Department will be doing their semi- annual flushing of watermains and hydrants beginning Monday, October 13th through Friday, October 24th. Please be aware that this flushing, while it is necessary, will create a disturbance in the system and may cause lower than normal water pressure and your water to be discolored. Although the water may be discolored by rust, it is fit for human consumption but it may stain clothes that are being washed. To alleviate this problem, you may want to fill your washer with water and check on its clarity before adding your clothes. We appreciate your patience and regret any inconvenience that this may cause.
