Please have all vehicles off the streets when the sweeper is in your neighborhood.

Street sweeping is one of the most cost-effective ways used to remove sediment, metals, petroleum products, trash, and vegetation that accumulates on streets, construction sites and parking lots.  If these toxins are not removed, they will make their way into the storm drains and into our streams and waterways.  Keeping the storm drains clear not only helps to mitigate water pollution, but also reduces the likelihood of flooding during heavy rain. If you have any questions, contact [email protected]  –  Thank you!

Eight weeks into the regular season, sometimes it’s not about who the better team is, but rather who the most healthy team is.

Win and Minnetonka clinches the No. 3 seed in Section 6 in Class 6A. A 28-26 loss to Burnsville on Oct. 17 and now there’s debate.

While hundreds of residents commute to the Twin Cities for jobs, a blue collar workforce creates products right in Chaska and Chanhassen, from medical devices to breakfast cereals.

If you do not have flood insurance, talk to your insurance agent.  Most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover losses due to flooding.  Flood insurance is only available to those participating communities in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).  The City of Carver participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which makes flood insurance available to everyone in the City even if your property is outside of the flood plain areas.

For many people, their home and its contents represent their greatest investment.  Be sure to check your policy to ensure you have adequate coverage.  Usually these policies cover the structure but not the contents.  Content coverage can be obtained by asking.  The cost of the policy will vary depending on the amount of coverage and the degree of the hazard.  There is a 30-day waiting period before insurance coverage becomes effective.  Plan ahead; do not wait until a flood is predicted before purchasing flood insurance.

The City of Carver participates in the Community Rating System (CRS), which reduces flood insurance policy rates through proper floodplain management programs.  Information about flood insurance can be obtained form your insurance agent.  You do not have to live in the flood plan to qualify for flood insurance.  Property owners can insure their building and contents and renters can insure their possessions.
