Looking for a way to enhance the beauty of Sioux City? The City of Sioux City is looking for groups and organizations to participate in a community service program called "Adopt A Street.” Organizations, businesses, and individuals volunteer to "Adopt A Street.” They then maintain their street by picking up litter. Signs are placed on sections of streets that have been adopted so residents know who has taken pride in the City and put forth the extra effort to keep the City looking great.

Typically, groups pick up trash a minimum of three times per year - once in the spring, summer, and fall. Naturally, more frequent trash pick-up enhances the appearance of the area and groups may clean-up their adopted streets as often as they wish. Because this is a volunteer program, no demands are placed on the individuals or organizations participating in this program. We only ask if your group is no longer interested in this program that you let us know so other organizations can adopt this street.

The City provides garbage bags and loans safety vests to groups who adopt a street. The garbage bags can be left along the street, and City crews will pick them up.

If you are interested in the "Adopt A Street" Program, contact Field Services at 712-279-6886. A

The Sioux City Neighborhood Network (SCNN) was organized in 1993, following the completion of the City's new general plan, Vision 2020. The initial group was comprised of members of the "Neighborhoods and Housing Committee" from the Vision 2020 process who felt the work they began needed to continue.

The Neighborhood Network has focused on two primary objectives: to help neighborhoods organize in order to effectively express the needs, wants, and goals of specific neighborhoods; and to stabilize and improve available housing in neighborhoods.

The City Council appreciates and relies heavily on our neighborhood leaders. These individuals dedicate count- less hours of their time to “live in a better neighborhood without moving” as their motto states. Many of them are involved in other City boards and commissions and are constantly working to improve Sioux City. The City/ Neighborhood partnership continues to benefit the City of Sioux City.

Neighborhood Network Meetings are held the second Thursday of every month, 6:00 p.m. at 601 Douglas Street (Sioux City Police Department). If you are interested in solving neighborhood issues, please attend the next meeting or email [email protected].

Currently there are 7 neighborhood coalitions: Crescent Park, Greenville, Leeds, Rose Hill, Riverside, Jones Street, Westside, Mid-City, and Near Westside. For more information regarding the Neighborhood Network please call City staff at 712-224-5136 or visit www.sioux-city.org/neighborhood.

The Sioux City Orpheum was constructed in 1927. This opulent vaudeville and moving picture house boasted a large 2,650 seating capacity, a three story auditorium complete with Wurlitzer pipe organ, half circle boxes, hand carved detailing, gilded ornamentation, several crystal chandeliers, symphony performances, ballet, and special attractions. It also hosted entertainers such as Fred Astaire, Tallulah Bankhead, and Katherine Hepburn.

After the Orpheum had been stripped down and used as a movie theater in the 1970s and ’80s, a nonprofit organization formed in 1989, the Orpheum Theatre Preservation Project Ltd. (OTPP), with the purpose of pursuing the fundraising necessary to renovate and reopen the theatre.

The Orpheum Theatre is home to the Sioux City Symphony, and the "Broadway at the Orpheum" annual series. The theatre also hosts national touring concerts and has featured artists such as James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Jerry Seinfeld, The Avett Brothers, Chicago, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Tony Bennett, and Willie Nelson.

Sewer back-ups generally occur due to root infiltration or improper items entering the sewer system. The City conducts an aggressive cleaning program to address known problems areas, but with over 300 miles of sanitary sewer lines in the City to maintain, we need your help in preventing back-ups from occurring.

Sanitary sewers are designed to handle human waste; however, many inappropriate items are disposed of in the sewer system. Examples of these items include: cooking grease, clothing, diapers (children and adult), toys, feminine napkins, or other man-made items. Some combinations of improper disposal of items cause major problems; such as, when grease and egg shells combine they create a mixture similar in consistency to concrete - this collects at the water line and forms a blockage which causes a back-up. Instead of putting these items down the sewer, use a small sealable container to put grease and/or cooking oil in and when it hardens, dispose of it in the garbage. Another thing to avoid is planting trees around the area of your sewer pipes, as tree roots tend to grow toward water sources like a sewer pipes.

Other items that should never be put in your sink or toilet are hazardous wastes. Examples of these include: motor oil, weed killer, antifreeze, solvents, gasoline, wood preservatives, paint, lighter fluid, needles, and insecticides.

If you have any questions or suspect a sewer back-up please call the Utilities Division at 712-279-6164 and we will come check the main sewer line free of charge.

In order for the City to provide effective, safe, and efficient service during the winter months, the following snow policies have been established.

General Policies

Snow Removal in Streets and Alleys The City of Sioux City attempts to plow all streets within 72 hours of a four inch snowfall. Arterial streets are cleared first, followed by residential streets and alleys. If it continues to snow, crews may be required to stay on arterial streets until the snowfall stops and the arterial streets are clear. Ice control on streets is performed whenever necessary. Snow plow drivers push snow as close to the curb as possible (using the parking areas as storage for the snow), thus snow rolls into the entry of driveways. Residents should not clear the end of driveways until the entire street has been plowed. Plow drivers do not clear snow from driveways. In some areas, sidewalks are close to the curb line. Even though drivers make every effort to avoid plowing snow onto these sidewalks, it occasionally happens. Plow drivers do not plow sidewalks.

Downtown Emergency Snow Routes Emergency snow routes are designated by signs bearing a white snowflake on a blue background. There is no parking in these areas from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. During downtown snow pickup operations there is no parking in these locations. Notice will be given when no parking in these locations goes into effect.

Depositing Snow on Public Property It is unlawful to remove snow and/or ice from private premises and to deposit it on any public street, alley, or other public property within the City limits. Persons found guilty of this infraction may be punished by a fine of $100.00 or 30 days in jail. Pushing snow into the street not only creates a hazard for motorists, but seriously hampers snow removal efforts. Driveway or sidewalk snow should not be blown or shoveled into a public right of way or street. In the Central Business District, where there is no snow storage, sidewalks can be pushed to the curb.

Sidewalks City Code requires owners and/or occupants of property adjacent to a public sidewalk to clear the snow within 12 hours after the snow or ice has stopped falling. To report an unshoveled sidewalk call the Permit Center at 224-5216.

Snow Emergencies A 2 inch or greater snowfall will trigger the restriction of parking on the designated Emergency Snow routes. The Mayor or his designee may declare a snow emergency for the city that restricts parking to odd/even days. The media will be provided details for any snow emergency or visit our website at www.sioux-city.org or contact Field Services at 279-6886 or Public Works Department at 279-6324 for more information.

Restricted Parking During Snow Emergencies If you park a vehicle on the street, you must move it every 24 hours. This helps to clear all streets to the curb. "Snow Birds" (vehicles not moved) hamper snow removal and may be towed without notice in order to facilitate snow removal.

Please call Field Services at 279-6886 with any questions.

The City has led major initiatives to improve storm water facilities to address major storm events and improve water quality. This has included the construction of the Perry Creek Levee, channel improvements and habitat restoration in Ravine Park, the addition of a Prairie Park that includes treatment of storm water runoff, and various other improvements to underground storm facilities. It should be noted that the Perry Creek Levee project was constructed over a fifteen year period for approximately $110 million. Also, the City spends an average of $500,000 annually to improve

The City of Sioux City has been issued a MS4 Permit by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for the discharge of storm water. The goal of the MS4 Program is to reduce pollution in our waterways. The City approaches storm water management by addressing several key areas. City staff works to educate the public on storm water pollution prevention by providing educational materials and engaging residents at outreach events. The Environ- mental Services Division monitors storm water quality in several ways: stream sampling, monitoring for dry weather flows from storm outlets, and responding to reports of illicit discharge. Also important is the continued monitoring of construction sites disturbing one or more acres to ensure compliance with storm water permit regulations, as required by the City’s MS4 permit. The City also works with new developers to comply with the City’s and Iowa DNR’s storm water regulations. New development plans are designed to maintain storm water run-offs to pre-construction conditions. All development sites over one acre are required to develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention plan (SWPP) as well as apply for an National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit or grading permit if necessary. As part of these plans, larger developments must include the construction of storm water detention and retention facilities. Further information including relevant ordinances (City Code) can be found at sioux-city.org/storm-water. Protecting our Waterways The Sioux City Utilities Department seeks citizen’s participation to help protect our water ways by managing what goes into the storm water inlets in each neighborhood. When it rains or snow melts, runoff picks up and carries a wide variety of pollutants into our storm water system. Storm water pollution comes from many diffuse non-point sources including the following:

 Yard waste and litter that uses up oxygen needed for aquatic life.  Detergent, fertilizer and pet waste that contains nutrients which pollutes waterways.  Toxic automotive product such as motor oil and antifreeze.  Hazardous waste such as cleaners, paints, and pesticides.  Sediments (soil, sand, silt, and clay) that clog fish gills, and block sunlight for underwater vegetation. To avoid polluting waterways, please follow these practices:

 Yard and pet waste can be placed in a household trash container for weekly collection.  Toxic household chemicals may be disposed of at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center. Call 712-255-8345 for more information.  Plant bare spots with grass or flowers to prevent soil erosion and help filter storm water pollutants. Report illicit discharges by calling 712-279-6150.

The Sioux City Water Treatment Plant supplies water to approximately 29,000 homes and businesses in the metro area. Additionally, the cities of South Sioux City, NE and Dakota Dunes, SD buy water from Sioux City each month to meet its citizens’ needs.

Source The City of Sioux City draws all of its water from groundwater sources, utilizing both the deep Dakota Sandstone and the Missouri River alluvium formations. There are 9 wells that feed the Zenith Water Treatment Plant located at 1101 Tri-View Avenue and 1 well that feeds the Southbridge Regional Water Treatment Plant located at 2500 225th Street.

Treatment The Sioux City water system treats an average of 12.9 million gallons per day with a peak daily capacity of 40 million gallons at its two plants. Both plants use aeration, coagulation, flocculation and disinfection to produce top quality water. The Zenith Plant uses conventional dual media filters and the Southbridge Plant uses membrane filtration. Ultraviolet disinfection provides a secondary disinfection process at the Zenith Plant. W

Water Quality The quality of the City’s water is excellent and meets or exceeds the standards set by the National Safe Drinking Water Act. Laboratory tests are conducted regularly on samples collected at the treatment plant and in the distri- bution system. The water quality report indicates that no harmful bacteria or chemical contaminants are in the water supply.

Water Rates Sioux City sells water to residential users at the rate of approximately 10 gallons for 4.5 cents. An average single family residence uses approximately 199 gallons each day, at the cost of approximately 89.5 cents per day.

Water Tests If you would like a sample of water from your home tested, call the Water Plant at 279-6150.

Water lawns during the early morning hours when temperatures and wind speed are lowest to reduce evaporation.

 Don't over water your lawn. Generally, lawns need only 1 inch of water per week.

 Don’t allow sprinklers to water your sidewalk, driveway, or street.

 Avoid over fertilizing your lawn. Fertilization applications increase the need for watering your lawn.

 Set your mower to cut grass about 2 or 3 inches tall. Mowing grass shorter dries out the soil and increases water use.

 Mulch plants to reduce evaporation and weed growth.

 Adjust automatic irrigation timers as needs change.

 Whenever possible, place plants with similar needs close together. Phone Directory
