We would like to thank all of those who are taking advantage of the new recycling program in Lowe Farm, Rosenort and Sperling. The response has been better than imagined!
Just a reminder to flatten plastic and cardboard as much as possible, as that leaves room in the bins for more!

SPECIAL CERTIFICATES
The R.M. of Morris would like to let you know that we offer free special certificates for Anniversaries 50 years and up, 90th Birthdays and Centennial Farms. If you or anyone you know is celebrating one of these occasions, please call our office and we will provide you with a certificate. We can also make an announcement on this website.
ROAD REPORT
Spring and summer of 2009 have been a real challenge for the R.M. of Morris. All of our staff have been working very hard in the flood recovery effort. We have hired a number of contractors to help repair affected drainage and roads. We had many miles of roads covered with water due to the flood, and with any excessive rain these roads continue to be difficult to firm up and maintain. We want to assure our ratepayers that we are doing all we can to properly repair the damage and to do so in a timely manner. We appreciate your feedback and request your continued patience as our staff and contractors repair the infrastructure that was so heavily damaged.
**Please remember to advise the R.M. office if you are moving, at 746-7301, so that water bills can be adjusted.
**If you haven’t received your property tax notices, please notify the municipal office at 746-2642 to confirm that we have your correct address.
