FIVE THINGS: Public Works Open House is Almost Here

1-    On Saturday the City of Falls Church will host Public Utilities Open House at the Property Yard (7100 Gordon Rd.) from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The free event includes activities for the entire family, including taking pictures on heavy-duty equipment. Visitors are invited to watch utility employees demonstrate equipment use, make water connections, and more.

2-    Street sweeping continues in the City of Falls Church through Friday. It is important that residents move vehicles off of residential streets between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. when street sweeping is scheduled for their area. Parked vehicles impede the street sweeping equipment, resulting in less efficient and effective service. See the schedule and locations of street sweeping here.

3-    Through Sept. 27, the city will be repaving streets as well as replacing sections of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. The work will take place weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A tentative schedule of timing and locations is here.

4-    The City of Falls Church Recreation and Parks Department fall brochure is now available and residents can register for a variety of classes and activities for all ages.

5-    If you are celebrating a birthday on Sept. 19, you chare it with actor and star of Batman, Adam West, comedian Jimmy Fallon and Hall of Fame baseball player Joe Morgan. Happy birthday!
