Snow Response

In accordance with the Lyons Municipal Code, property owners - including both residents and businesses - must remove snow or ice 24 hours after the last accretion. If sidewalks remain hazardous and unkept, the Town will mitigate, and charges will be sent to the property owner.

Thanks for your help in maintaining a safe environment.

Recycling Guidelines

Contamination to single stream recycling is a huge problem: plastic bags cause machinery to jam; food scraps and liquids splatter workers; and non-recyclable materials reduce the value of the sorted materials driving the cost up for everyone.

Now that the Recycling Center has moved to its new location near the wastewater treatment plant (198 2nd Ave.), please take a moment to be reminded of what should not be placed in the bins.

If you see someone not following the guidelines, feel free to talk to them to let them know the rules—it takes a community.

Check out a list of items that you should avoid recycling at the drop-off center, and visit Boulder County's Recycling Drop-off Centers page for more information.

Backflow Prevention and Cross-Connection Control

The Town of Lyons adopted the Backflow Prevention and Cross-connection Control Program (Ordinance 1007) in 2016. This BPCCC Program, in compliance with the Colorado State Regulation 11.39, was put in place to protect drinking water from possible contamination. All water systems experience conditions that could allow for the unintended reverse flow of liquid. This is known as “backflow.” Backflow events may be acute and could pose an immediate health risk to the public. Some common cross-connections found in buildings include: fire sprinkler lines, irrigation sprinkler lines, boilers, automatic soap injectors, hose bibs, display fountains.

If your commercial or multi-family connection currently has a backflow preventer installed, you are responsible to have these assemblies/devices/methods inspected annually (LMC 13-6-60) by a State-certified tester. You can find a list of certified testers HERE. Once the tester has provided a passing test, the results may be submitted via email to igreer@townoflyons.com, mailed or dropped-off at Town Hall (432 5^th Ave – PO BOX 49), by December 15, 2018.
