City Of Eureka: Winter Weather City-Wide Information

Press release from the City of Eureka:

February 1, 2022

The National Weather Service is predicting a major winter storm event for our area, beginning in the early morning hours of Wednesday, Feb. 2, and continuing into Friday, Feb. 4. This is the biggest storm we’ve seen in a few years.  Travel will be extremely difficult if not impossible in some areas.  Very cold conditions will follow the storm which will not help clean up efforts and will be a concern for anyone that loses power.  

RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES ARE ADVISED OF THE FOLLOWING:

RESIDENTIAL TRASH COLLECTION: With the threat of bad weather headed our way, Waste Connections is preparing for the worst. Their team has come up with a plan for the remainder of the week.

This schedule may change, depending on actual weather conditions. However at this point the goal is to have all residential routes serviced by the end of the day Saturday, with normal schedules resuming next Monday.

CITY OF EUREKA SNOW CLEARING PLAN: Crews will work around the clock from the time of precipitation onset until roads are cleared. Residents are asked to remove vehicles from the street if at all possible. Culde-sacs are special problem spots. If you don’t need to travel, please stay home!

NON-EMERGENCY DISPATCH LINE: Please use the non-emergency police phone number for calls that are not an emergency:  636-938-6600.  Calls to the non-emergency line will then be routed to the appropriate City personnel (such as Public Works, in the event of a water / sewer issue, etc.) In the event of emergency, call 911!

EMERGENCY PHONE NOTIFICATIONS: The City uses CodeRED for its emergency phone notifications. If you have not signed up for alerts please do so: https://public.coderedweb.com/CNE/en-US/F412D1C1CFD7  The City will use website postings, social media, and the phone notification system in the event of an emergency directly impacting our residents.
