Subject: Trash & Recycling Pickup Delays Due to Icy Roads Dear Mishawaka Residents, I wanted to take a moment to update you on trash and recycling pickup as we deal with the challenges of icy road conditions. Waste Management is doing everything they can to complete routes as scheduled; however, safety must come first. If your trash is not picked up today, please know that crews will make every effort to collect it tomorrow. We understand the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these weather-related delays. Thank you for your cooperation, and please stay safe in these conditions. Best regards, Matt Lentsch      

New Water Tower at Gumwood Well Field

“The City of Mishawaka’s new Water tower project is starting to take shape. The new 1.5 million-gallon water tower sits at the current Gumwood Well Field. This $7 million-dollar project will increase pressure in the University Park Pressure District by 15 psi, provide more storage and greater firefighting capabilities as it will replace the current 1 million-gallon tower along University Drive. As The Tower was being raised today, August 4th 2022 and will be 153 feet at its highest point. Although it may look complete by late this summer, there will be many hours of work on the interior, and final completion will bring us to summer of 2023 when both the new tower and treatment plant will go on-line. If you are near the corner of Gumwood and Cleveland Road look up and you can’t miss seeing this new structure.”
