CITY OF COLVILLE SPRING CLEAN PROGRAMS
The City of Colville will again be conducting
its annual Residential Spring Clean programs at no
additional charge to Colville City residents. Spring Clean
will be done in two separate phases. The first phase
will be for pick up of yard wastes only and
will take place starting Monday, April 5th.
The second phase will take place May 15th
and will be for household wastes only. No business,
commercial or construction wastes, or logging waste will be
collected during either phase.
Phase 1 - Yard Waste
Program: beginning at 7:00 A.M., starts April 5th
The
City Street Department will pick up yard wastes placed along
the edge of residential street fronts only. There will be
no alley pickups. The Street Dept. prefers that yard waste
be loose rather than in bags, however, bagged yard waste is
permitted. There will be no advance notice of which streets
will be done first, so residents are advised to be sure all
materials are placed by 7:00 A.M. April 5th.
Yard wastes will only be picked up once. There will be no
return pick ups. Yard wastes may consist of grass clippings,
leaves, brush, shrubs, branches and lumber (all nails
removed) that are less than six feet in length and six
inches in thickness or diameter. Concrete, piles of dirt,
gravel, large rocks and construction debris will NOT be
picked up. Do not put any household wastes with the yard
wastes. The Street Department reserves the right to
determine if the content and amount of yard waste is
reasonable and acceptable. Call the Street Department at
684-1489 if you need further clarification regarding yard
wastes which are eligible for pick up during this program.
Phase 2 –
Household Waste Program:
beginning at 7:00 A.M., Saturday May 15th ONLY
This
year’s household waste clean up campaign will operate as it
has since 2004, which eliminated curbside pick in favor of a
controlled drop-off program. The one day event will be held
Saturday, May 15th only, at the City Street/Water Department
compound, 1044 N Lincoln Street, between the hours of 7 AM
and 2 PM. The service is only for residents who live within
the Colville City limits. Residents will need to bring
their household wastes to the Lincoln Street site. Drivers
must provide proof of current residency, such as the
customer portion of their City water/sewer utility bill for
April 2010, as their pass onto the site. Residents of
apartments or rentals, whose landlords receive the utility
billings, will be allowed to participate in the Household
Waste Clean Up Program, as long as they can show proof of
current City residency. Elderly citizens (65 and older) and
disabled citizens who have no means of hauling their
household waste, may contact Marty at Public Works at
684-1489 to apply for special assistance.
Residents may dispose of a
maximum cumulative total of 4 cubic yards of household
wastes, which may entail multiple trips for those residents
with smaller vehicles. 4 cubic yards is equivalent to a
pile approximately 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 6 feet long
or one well-loaded ¾ ton pickup. Loads must be properly
secured. Items that may be disposed include: furniture,
TV's, appliances, mattresses, tires (limited to 2) and other
miscellaneous items (junk). Lawn mowers must be fluid
free. Propane tanks must be empty. Computer towers,
laptops, and monitors will be disposed of in a special
recycling container on site. Items that may NOT be disposed
of include: whole car bodies, concrete, piles of dirt,
gravel, large rocks, construction debris, commercial wastes,
yard waste, any items exceeding six feet in length, or any
hazardous waste such as paint and solvents, used motor oil
and anti freeze, and batteries. Loads will be inspected at
the entry gate.
Procedure:
The locked compound at 1044 N Lincoln Street will open at
7:00 AM on Saturday, May 15th only and operate
until 2:00 PM. Vehicles will enter through the Lincoln
Street gate and be directed by City personnel to one of
several unloading zones. Vehicles will then be guided to an
exit gate. Drivers will be asked for proof of residency.
Drivers and passengers will be cautioned to remain inside
their vehicles while Sunshine Disposal crews unload and sort
the household wastes. No scavenging will be permitted on
site.
Sunshine Disposal and the
City reserve the right to determine if the content and
amount of debris is reasonable and acceptable. If you need
further clarification regarding the household wastes pick up
during this program, please contact Marty at 684-1489.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING
The City of Colville
Water Department will be conducting an aggressive water
quality flushing program beginning on Monday, March 29, 2010
and will complete flushing by approximately the middle of
April.
Our program is
designed to flush the build-up of minerals and other
sediments from our distribution system, as well as routinely
operate the valves and hydrants within our system. As a
result of this flushing program, residents and businesses
may experience fluctuating water pressure, discoloration of
water, or a change in taste or odor. It is best to run
water from an outside faucet for a few minutes to clear up
any of these issues if they do occur. If these problems
persist, please contact the Water Department at (509)
684-2244. We encourage customers to check their water for
discoloration before drawing water or washing laundry while
flushing is being conducted.
We ask
that anyone who requires the use of a kidney dialysis
machine, or similar medical equipment, contact the Water
Department, (509) 684-2244, to schedule
flushing in your area.

BURNING REGULATIONS
As of January
1, 2007, land-clearing and residential outdoor burning will
no longer be legal in any area designated as an Urban Growth
Area (UGA) under the Growth Management Act. The City of
Colville, and several other cities in Stevens County, were
designated Urban Growth Areas by Stevens County when the
county decided to plan under the Growth Management Act
several years ago. The Department of Ecology is committed
to working with cities, counties, and citizens groups to
promote viable alternatives to burning in all communities,
especially those where the ban on open burning takes effect
in 2007. The applicable law and rule involved are
RCW 70.94.743 and
WAC 173-425-040(2).
