Keep Dubuque Clean - Adopt a Spot!

Wondering how you can contribute to a healthier watershed? The City now offers a way for individuals, businesses, school groups, and other organizations to play an active role in keeping the community clean and beautiful.

The Adopt-A-Spot program allows participants to "adopt" a public space such as a street, waterway, park, or storm drain and make a commitment to regularly clean and maintain the spot for no less than one year.

For more information, or to adopt a spot, visit www.cityofdubuque.org/adoptaspot.

22nd St. Storm Sewer Improvements

The first segment of the 22nd St. storm sewer project, between Elm and Jackson streets, started on April 30. Crews have been working on the underground utilities including the sanitary sewer and water service lines.

Construction of segment 2, between Jackson and White streets, started on June 7. Currently, the intersections of 22nd St. and Washington St. and 22nd St. and Jackson St. are closed. Both intersections are scheduled to open in early October when segments 1 and 2 are finished.

The 17th St. project is expected to begin in late June at the intersection of 17th St. and Elm St. This work is expected to take approximately one month. Construction will then continue up 17th St. toward Heeb Street. The work will be performed in segments with no more than two streets closed at one time. The project is expected to finish in late 2018 or early 2019. For more information, visit www.cityofdubuque.org/17thwlocust.
