Protect Yourself From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Residents are advised to be aware of the dangers associated with carbon monoxide poisoning. This issue is especially important during times of a power outage.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless and tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, kerosene and oil are burned. In only minutes deadly fumes can develop in enclosed spaces. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, confusion, fatigue, nausea, unconsciousness and can lead to death.
When using generators they must be placed outdoors and away from windows, doors or any area where the exhaust can vent back into a living environment. Never place a generator or any fuel powered device in a home or the attached garage.
Here are a few tips to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
Never use generators, camp stoves or lanterns, or any alternate fuel burning devices in any location of a home or garage.
Follow the operating instructions for all fuel burning appliances.
Do not use the oven or stove to heat a home.
Never operate a vehicle inside a garage.
Do not sleep in a room with an un-vented gas or kerosene heater.
Have your furnace checked once every year.
Install a battery operated carbon monoxide detector in your home.

Beginning May 14, 2005, Royalton Township Board adopted an amendment to Ordinance Number 25, "Water Rate Ordinance", which addresses Water Conservation Regulations. This amendment allows for lawn sprinkling using municipal (city) water on days that coincide with your address. Properties with 'even' number ending addresses (example - 1436) may use water from the public water system for the purpose of sprinkling only on 'even' numbered calendar days, and residents whose address ends in 'odd' numbers (example - 295) may use water from the public water system for the purpose of sprinkling only on 'odd' numbered calendar days. Properties without an assigned address are considered 'odd' numbered for the purpose of this ordinance.
Exemptions for this rule are for newly planted grass, trees, and other plants for the first 30 days following planting. Further, sprinkling of vegetable gardens is exempt from this section of the ordinance. Also, 'sprinkling' shall not include drip irrigation systems, the use of a container such as a watering can or pitcher, or the use of hose equipment with a spring-loaded shutoff device that automatically stops the flow of water if the hose is left unattended.
