KEEPING YOU INFORMED
"While we are flushing you may possibly experience lower pressure than normal and could have a tint in the water. If you use any water in your home during the posted flush times you may draw this water into your plumbing system. Toilets and hot water heaters have tanks that can keep this water around long after we are done. If you continue to have discoloration or cloudy water after the posted flush has ended, please let the cold water tap in your kitchen run for approximately 3-5 minutes. If the cold water in the kitchen is clear and the hot water and toilets still have a tint, they may require a brief flush. If any of these issues continue after the posted flush times, please call us at 225-925-2011."
Please be advised.
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, or Emancipation Day, is a holiday celebrated on June 19th. It commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. Specifically, it marks the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced General Order No. 3, which declared that all enslaved people in Texas were free. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863.
Juneteenth is a time for reflection, education, and celebration. In 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States.

One nation under God, indivisible. Our flag has a proud and glorious history. It was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon. Happy Flag Day! Have a worn and torn flag that needs to be retired? There is a flag box outside at city hall where you can place your old flags, and they will properly be retired.
A little mid-week surprise for you!

Because the City of Central enforces floodplain development regulations, it is a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participating community. This allows property owners to purchase flood insurance through the NFIP.
The City of Central also participates in the NFIP’s Community Rating System (CRS), which rewards communities who voluntarily do more than the minimum floodplain management requirements. The CRS program rewards communities by providing flood insurance premium reductions for policies in the community. The City of Central is currently a CRS Class 7, which earns a 15% discount on all flood insurance premiums.
This postcard is one way that the City of Central does more than the minimum required for floodplain management and seeks to make the community a safer place.
