5/20/2013 After some preparation time and effort last week by the Municipal Court staff, a coordinated and scheduled Municipal Warrant Sweep was conducted on Sunday 05/19/2013. The sweep began early Sunday morning and included cooperative efforts between the City’s Marshals, Pottawatomie County Sheriff Warrant Service Team, the Shawnee Police Department and Shawnee Sentinels.
During the sweep forty eight (48) municipal warrants were cleared and over $2,100 collected in outstanding warrants. Additionally 9 arrest were made, 3 on City Warrants, with the remainder on county felony warrants. Additionally the team assisted the SPD and Sheriff Department apprehend a suspect in a murder case clearing multiple City warrants in that process.
5/16/2013 With severe weather always a possibility during this time of this year make sure you are ready to Protect yourself during a tornado.
Where you seek shelter depends on where you are when the tornado is approaching;
If you are inside a building
o Go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, or storm cellar, or the lowest level.
o If there is no basement, go to an interior room away from corners, windows, and doors in the lowest level of the structure. If you can, get under a table or heavy furniture
o Protect your arms, neck, and head
If you are in a trailer or mobile home
o Leave immediately and get to a storm shelter or the first floor of a sturdy building
If you are caught outside
o Don’t try to outrun a tornado in your car
o Get inside a storm shelter or nearby sturdy building
o If you are in your car, never get under an overpass or bridge.
o If a sturdy building is not available, seek shelter in a low-lying area-perhaps a ditch-cover your head with your hands, a helmet, or a coat or blanket if you have one
5/14/2013 Recently, you may have noticed a taste and odor change to your tap water. Due to recent heavy rainfall, strong winds and changing temperatures, a naturally occurring process has taken place which causes the lakes that supply us our water to stir, leading to sedimentation rising up from the lower layers of the lakes. These conditions can create taste and odor problems with our water supply.
City staff are making every effort to alleviate the current issues and do not anticipate the conditions to last much longer. The Shawnee Municipal Authority wants to assure you that we are consistently treating the City’s water supply and are meeting and exceeding DEQ and EPA standards and that your drinking water is safe.
If you have any further questions please call Mike Nelson at the City of Shawnee Water Treatment Plant at 273-0890.
