**NOTIFICATION
OF CHANGES TO YARD WASTE SERVICES**
In an effort to make life a little
easier on our residents the Town of Dundee will be
collecting residential Yard Waste on Tuesdays beginning
June 7th, 2011. This change will not
affect your regularly scheduled garbage pickup on
Tuesday.
In addition, one sixty-five (65) gallon
recycling container will be distributed to all residents
and will replace the two (2) yellow bins that are
currently used for recycling. The sixty-five (65)
gallon container will allow comingling of all recyclable
materials. Directions for recycling will be located on
the sixty-five (65) gallon container once it has been
delivered to your residence. The yellow containers can
be recycled or can be utilized for your personal use.
If you have any questions please feel
free to call 863-419-3100 Ext. 226

Utilities
The Public Works Department provides several essential
services to the residents and businesses of Dundee. It
is also involved in several projects to enhance the
quality of life in town. The Town has a public water
supply system with improvements made over the years to
provide for the development which has occurred,
especially along US Highway 27. One project of the
department is to take stock of existing facilities and
public demands and plan appropriate improvements. The
daily consumption of water now averages about 450,000
gallons per day.
Council recently approved expanding the existing
wastewater treatment plant. The Public Works Department
is highly involved in expanding the coverage of the Town
with a collection system which can provide wastewater
disposal for most of the commercial and public facility
property in the Town. With funding assistance from the
United States Department of Agriculture, a collection
system construction project was completed during 2002
which provided two pump stations and several thousand
feet of force main to remove sewage from the SW area of
Dundee, including the area near the intersection of Main
and Center Streets. From these facilities, gravity sewer
extensions and connections will result in diversion of
wastewater to the Town's plant that has for many years
been pumped out of Town by the Utility Department of
Polk County. Many other commercial properties are
expected to be able to connect to the same sanitary
sewer facility.
The Public Works Department provides many services to
the Town's residents in addition to water and sewer
service. The usual street and storm-water facility
maintenance is provided. The extensive public land held
by the Town as a result of all the lakes and the area
immediately around the lakes, being designated as public
lands in the original platting of the Town, is regularly
mowed and provided with landscape maintenance to enhance
its use as park land. The solid waste generated within
the Town is outsourced to Florida Refuse.
