RECYCLING RATE INCREASE

Recycling rates charged on the bi-monthly utility bills

have increased effective July 1, 2020. You will notice this

increase on the July-August, 2020 billing which will be

mailed out on September 1, 2020. The rates are

increasing from $5.00 per month ($10.00 on the bi-

monthly bill) to $6.00 per month ($12.00 on the bi-

monthly bill). This is due to the increased costs for the

pickup and delivery of the recyclables from town to the

recycling facility and administrative costs.

Thank you for recycling and for doing your part to divert

waste from the landfill!

Eatonia Oasis Living July 2020

Hello everyone! All is well at EOL! We are enjoying the nice weather. We were under restrictions for a

couple of weeks, due to the increase of cases in the area, but are now slowly opening up again with out

door visits. Appointments must be made ahead of time and visitors will be screened prior to visit. We

thank everyone for their part in keeping our residents and staff safe!

We currently have 19 residents at EOL. We would like to welcome Bernie Bredy to our home! We also

have Betty King staying with us for respite care. It has been great getting reacquainted with both of you!

Our best goes out to Evelyn Hoffman, Lennie Bews and Bob Douglas who celebrated birthdays in June

and July! Thank you to the staff who made their day special! Check out our facebook page for pictures! ___________________________________________________________________________________________

Facetime visits can be arranged! Thanks to the PCCU, we have two iPads to use for this! The residents
