CANADA DAY FEEDBACK

Council thanks you for your feedback. They will move forward with decisions after the deadline.

PAVING FEE

At the December 2024 Council Meeting, Council passed a resolution that states:

“THAT we remove the $10 per month / $110 prepaid paving fee from the utility billing and add it to the tax revenue stream. This will come into effect on January 1, 2025”

Therefore, residents will no longer see this charge on their utility bills.

LANDFILL

** Large demolition projects will not be accepted. Owner’s will be responsible for renting their own waste bin.

** Truck loads larger than 1 ton will not be accepted.

Items accepted at the Landfill – NO CHARGE: Yard debris, trees, white metals, electronics, concrete, propane tanks

Appliances: no charge if disposed of correctly: Fridge (door removed), freezer (door/lid removed), washer dryer (door/lid removed).

SNOW REMOVAL – BACK ALLEY’S

The Town of Burstall is responsible for clearing snow from all streets in town, not back alleys. If a back alley is requested for snow removal, the ratepayer will be charged accordingly.

January 2025 Communication

Council Meetings:

Are always the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 6:30p.m. Public notice will only be given if the time and date of the regular scheduled meeting has been changed.

Sewer Line Maintenance:

Dispose of “flushable” wipes in the garbage – these wipes are designed with fibres that take a long time to break down in water, causing sewer backups and damaging infrastructure along the way

Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) do not belong in the sewer – Pour liquid FOG including gravies, sauces and leftover grease into an empty jar or can

Cat & Dog Licenses:

Are now due! $15 per dog/cat if it is spayed or neutered, $30 if it is not spayed or neutered.

The Black Stray Dog:

At the January 16th Council meeting, several complaints were brought forward regarding the black stray dog that has been around town.

It is recommended that we do not feed wild or stray animals in town limits. We understand this has good intentions; however, it brings potential safety concerns. Please reference Bylaw 2017-157 regarding Dogs Running at Large.

Council is looking at all options to remedy the situation, which includes being in contact with our Conservation Officer & seeking out possible dog catchers.

Snow Removal:

Just a reminder to please shovel and blow your snow onto your property rather than the street whenever possible.

Thank you!
