Happy Flag Day!
Today, we honor the symbol of our nation—our flag—and all it represents: freedom, unity, and resilience.
On this day in 1777, the Stars and Stripes were officially adopted as the flag of the United States. 248 years later, it still flies strong and proud.

🌿🏡 Keep Your Yard in Check — It’s the Law! 🏡🌿
Did you know? According to city ordinance, all property owners are required to:
✅ Keep yards clean and free of debris, junk, and clutter
✅ Maintain grass and weeds below 6 inches
Overgrown lawns and unkempt yards don’t just hurt curb appeal — they can attract pests, pose fire hazards, and impact neighborhood property values.
⚠️ Failure to comply may result in warnings, citations, or fines starting at $100. Repeat violations can lead to more serious consequences, including city clean-up at the property owner’s expense.
Let’s work together to keep our community beautiful, safe, and welcoming!
Thank you for doing your part. 🌼

The City of Metropolis will be performing necessary repairs to the water main in the Cedar Lane subdivision on Thursday, May 29th, 2025.

🐶 Leash Up & Scoop the Poop! 🚶♂️💩
Hey, pet parents! Just a reminder that city ordinance requires:
✅ All dogs must be on a leash when off your property
✅ You must clean up after your dog in all public areas
Why it matters:
• Loose dogs can be a danger to others — and themselves
• Left-behind waste is unsightly, unsanitary, and spreads disease
• It's just good neighbor behavior! 🐾
🚫 Violators may face fines starting at $100 for leash or cleanup violations.
Let's work together to keep our parks, sidewalks, and neighborhoods safe and clean — for everyone (paws and people alike)! 🐕🧼
📢 Be a responsible pet owner. Leash it, Love it, and Leave No Trace!

"The legacy of brave men and women who have fought and died for their country is the freedom we enjoy as Americans." – Lucian Adams
*Remember, City Hall is closed in observance of the holiday today.*
🚫 Don’t Blow It — Keep Grass Off the Road! 🚫
Blowing or leaving grass clippings on city streets is a violation of Illinois State law — and it's more than just a bad habit. It’s dangerous, damaging, and illegal.
🌿 Why is this important?
• Grass clippings clog storm drains and cause flooding.
• They create slick, hazardous conditions for bicycles and motorcycles.
• They contribute to pollution and violate littering laws.
⚠️ Violators may be subject to fines starting at $100 — and repeat offenses can lead to higher penalties.
Let’s all do our part:
✔️ Blow clippings back onto your lawn.
✔️ Bag or compost when mowing near the road.
✔️ Keep our streets safe and clean for everyone!
Thank you for being a responsible neighbor! 💚
