🚯 Calera PSA: Help Stop Litter Before It Starts 🚯

We know litter isn’t always intentional. Sometimes trash gets tossed in the bed of a truck to handle later… and then the wind handles it first. 🌬️

Please help by:

• Securing items in truck beds and trailers
• Making sure trash in your can is bagged and tied. By bagging loose trash, it prevents debris from blowing out when cans are dumped into our trucks

And if your littering is intentional, please stop.

A few small steps can make a big difference in keeping Calera clean and looking good for everyone. Thanks for doing your part. 💙

Cold Weather Alert – Protect Your Pipes!

As of right now, freezing temperatures are expected throughout the weekend and into next week. With cold weather settling in, we want to help our water utility customers avoid frozen (and potentially burst) pipes.

Here are a few easy steps you can take to protect your plumbing:

✅ Let faucets drip – A slow, steady drip (especially on exterior walls) can help prevent pipes from freezing.

✅ Open cabinet doors – This allows warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks.

✅ Insulate exposed pipes – Wrap pipes in garages, crawl spaces, and outdoor areas with pipe insulation or towels.

✅ Disconnect outdoor hoses – Drain and store them, and cover outdoor faucets if possible.

✅ Know where your shut-off valve is – In case a pipe does burst, shutting off the water quickly can prevent major damage.

✅ Keep your home heated – Even if you’re away, set the thermostat to at least 55°F.

One of Alabama's most magical Christmas train rides takes you on the North Pole Express at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum out of Calera, Alabama. You ride through the dark toward a glowing North Pole while a storyteller reads a Christmas tale and carols play in the background. When the train reaches the lights, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves hop on to meet everyone and take photos. After the visit, you get hot chocolate or chocolate milk and a fresh bakery treat, based on your car. Every family also gets a collectible ornament. The whole trip lasts about an hour and a half and fills you with holiday cheer.

We extend our sincere sympathies to the family, friends, and colleagues of Conservation Enforcement Officer Senior Shawn Nixon, who passed away while on duty.

CEO Nixon, a native of Lincoln, Alabama, and stationed in Talladega County, served Alabama's citizens with dependable responsiveness and equitable enforcement of wildlife laws since 2012. Nixon's steadfast commitment to conservation and to the citizens of Alabama was evident in the ex*****on of his duties and in his interactions with the public. We are thankful to have shared in CEO Nixon's friendship and career.

This morning, SRO Eaton took traffic duty to a whole new level — showing up ready to serve and protect (and maybe fight a little crime in the sewers) in true Ninja Turtle style! 🐢

We appreciate our School Resource Officers for keeping things safe — and keeping a sense of humor while doing it.
