WHAT'S HIDING BEHIND YOUR HOUSE?
8/20/2026
HEY WHITEWATER... HAVE YOU LOOKED BEHIND YOUR HOUSE LATELY?
We spend a lot of time keeping the front of our properties looking good—but sometimes the alleys and utility easements behind and alongside our homes get forgotten.
Overgrown weeds, trees, brush, debris, and clutter can make these areas difficult for utility crews, City maintenance, and other service vehicles to access.
And now is a great time to take care of it!
IdeaTek has begun working throughout Whitewater to install fiber infrastructure for improved internet services. Much of that work will take place in alleys and utility easements throughout town.
So we are asking everyone to take a few minutes and look around your property.
- Trim the overgrowth.
- Clear the alley.
- Remove the clutter.
- Keep access open.
The responsibility for maintaining our community doesn't stop at the back fence.
(Who's responsibility is it? Read City codes: 8-301 & 302; 13-301 and 13-306)
Let's all do our part to keep Whitewater clean, accessible, and ready for the improvements already happening!
