City of Kewanee Announces Tentative One-Day Postponement of Trash Collection
Kewanee, IL – Due to the recent severe storm and the extensive damage it has caused, the City of Kewanee is tentatively postponing trash collection by one day. This delay is to allow our public works crews and Ameren Illinois the necessary time to safely restore power, clear downed trees and limbs, and ensure that roads are safe for travel. Additionally, the Transfer Station will be closed due to a power outage.
The storm has left many roads blocked, and residents are reminded to exercise caution while driving. Please be particularly mindful of downed power lines, which pose a significant safety hazard.
Furthermore, the storm has caused significant damage to the cemetery. It is recommended that residents avoid visiting the cemetery until the storm damage has been cleaned up. If you must visit, please be mindful of crews working in the area to restore and clean up the damage.
We understand that these disruptions may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work diligently to restore normalcy to our community.
Further information regarding City-provided services will be shared as it becomes available. We thank you for your patience and cooperation during this challenging time.
