Announcements

For City of Portage Residents only (Township residents will need to contact their township or take items to Columbia County Recycling)

 

Just a reminder….Labor Day is approaching, September 2nd so anyone with regular Monday garbage and recycle pick-up that day will now be picked up on Tuesday, September 3rd.

Roadway painting starts the second week of July and through August. The City will be painting curbs, parking stalls, stop bars, crosswalks, and other roadway markings. Crews start at 1 a.m. and work until 10 a.m. and the work is weather and condition dependent.
Crews typically paint white first and then switch over the painting rig to yellow. If there is yellow and white paint near your house there is a good chance City crews will have to go past your house on two separate mornings. The City performs the work on busy streets the earliest to avoid traffic and give the paint time to dry before opening it up to traffic. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience while we perform this maintenance activity.
