🚧 5TH STREET CONSTRUCTION UPDATE 🚧
Construction on the 5th Street Asphalt Overlay & Concrete Sidewalk Project is getting ready to begin!
Midwest Concrete recently notified the City that, weather permitting, work is expected to begin Wednesday, October 1, with the goal of completing a portion of the project this fall before shutting down for the winter.

📍 Construction Area: 5th Street from 14th Avenue to 21st Avenue

🚗 Traffic: 5th Street will remain open to traffic. Traffic will be shifted to the center two lanes, with one lane open in each direction. The outside lanes will be closed as curb and sidewalk reconstruction takes place.

🏠 Driveways & Parking: Some driveways within the project area will be temporarily inaccessible while they are reconstructed. Residents whose driveways will be affected will be contacted this week with more information on when to expect their closure and where to park during that time.
Driveway closures are expected to be short-term — generally only a few days at most, with some lasting less than a day. Midwest Concrete will continue coordinating with affected residents as work progresses.

🗑️ Trash & Recycling: Collection is expected to continue as normal at this time. If construction requires any changes, affected residents will be notified.

📅 Fall Schedule: Weather permitting, construction is anticipated to continue until approximately Thanksgiving, followed by a winter shutdown. Work will resume after the winter shutdown to complete the remaining project.

⚠️ For everyone’s safety, please stay out of closed lanes and active construction areas. See the attached map showing the two outside lanes as the construction area marked in orange and available travel route will be shifted to head-to-head in the center two lanes.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we get this project underway!

🚨 IMPORTANT WATER BILL ACH UPDATE 🚨

We want to make residents aware that there was an issue with this month’s ACH withdrawal for water bills, which resulted in some customers being charged twice.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and understand the concern this may have caused. We are currently working with the bank to have the duplicate charge refunded as quickly as possible.

The refund should be returned to affected customers’ accounts today.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to get this corrected. We will provide an update if anything changes.

Thank you to everyone for your patience during this transition.

At this time, you may place your old trash cans by your house or along the roadside. We are actively working on a plan to properly collect and dispose of the old containers.

📢 Utility Billing Update – City of Gilbertville

The City of Gilbertville would like to let residents know that this month's utility bills are being mailed later than usual due to staff trainings and the preparations surrounding RAGBRAI coming through our community.

To ensure no one is penalized because of the delay, all utility customers will receive a 5-day grace period, and no late fees will be charged during that time.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we've worked through a very busy month. If you have any questions about your utility bill, please contact City Hall.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

🚛 Black Hawk Waste Toters Update 🚛

We know many residents have been leaving their old Black Hawk Waste toters at the curb over the past week, waiting for them to be picked up. Thank you for your patience as we work through this transition.

At this time, residents have two options:
• Continue leaving your Black Hawk Waste toter at the curb if it is not causing an inconvenience.
• Or, place the toter back alongside your home (or its usual storage location) until pickup is scheduled.

The City is currently working with a third-party contractor to coordinate the removal of all remaining Black Hawk Waste toters. At this time, we do not have a confirmed pickup date, but we are actively working to finalize those details.

We understand this process has created confusion and inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we work toward a resolution.

📢 Please check back on Monday for another update. We will continue to keep residents informed as soon as additional information becomes available.

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation.
