Simple Way To Help Our City Stay Clean This Spring

Now that the dreaded "W" word is gone we can enjoy the beauty of spring. But with the changing of the seasons comes different challenges that we have to team together to overcome. The city of Battle Creek in particular is asking its residents to offer a helping hand to the city by clearing sewer drains free of debris, to avoid flooding to help keep our water clean.
