City Offices Remain Open Despite Snow and Cold Weather
Over this past week, Mequon experienced a serious snow storm and extremely cold temperatures.  Like the vast majority of neighboring municipalities, all City offices remained open. Staff who were concerned about driving conditions and the weather were encouraged to utilize paid-time-off if they did not want to travel.  Departments minimized the amount of time staff was exposed to the elements. Neither the Water Utility nor the Sewer Utility were impacted by the snow and cold weather.
