Bunceton, Missouri

April 2009

Dear Citizens of Bunceton,

This letter is to inform you of events and improvements that have been made to the city.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS

The water project has been completed.  There were more fire hydrants added throughout the city. Gravel has been added to the alleys and city streets.  Asphalt will be added soon to fill in potholes on the paved streets.

PARK

The City Park officially opened April 1^st.  There will be many improvements to the park this year.  The park has horseshoes, basketball, and a playground.  To reserve the park or help with different projects, contact Tony Maddox.

TRASH/LARGE ITEMS

If you need large items removed from your property, contact Cooper County Trash & Manufacturing at 427-5253.  There will be a small fee to remove couches, refrigerators, mattresses, and more.

Place your trash out by the curb no earlier than Sunday evening.  Trash should be bagged and placed in trash cans with lids.  Lids prevent water gathering in the cans and helps keep scavengers out of the trash.

WATER BILLS/METERS

There have been many questions about water meters and water bills, so I want to take this time to explain how things work.  If your water bill seems high for the month, check for running toilets or dripping faucets.  These 2 events can cause a big change in your water bill.  If there is a water leak on the city side this will not affect your water bill.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

The City Fire Department will be filling swimming pools again this year. Contact Fire Chief Wendell Cunningham at 427-5345.

Have a great summer!

Tanecia Walker

Mayor of Bunceton
