Weekly Blast!: Do you hold a Commercial Driver’s License? If so, the Town of Grant is seeking snowplow operators and might be interested in interviewing YOU! Hours are part-time, unpredictable, and totally weather dependent – CRAZY! But if your winters are spent here rather than Arizona or Florida give our Town Clerk a call at 715-213-7370 or the Town Hall at 715-423-9193 or email her at clerk@townofgrant-portage.wi.gov.   The failed culvert on 90th Street S between Quarry and County Road W was replaced this week. The culvert was provided by Wisconsin Flowgate and installed by Red Run Property Services. Our own crew was busy conducting maintenance on various roads by joint and crack-sealing, and patching holes. We’re never going to run out of work!   Are you an ATV or UTV enthusiast? A recent Department of Natural Resources report stated that Wisconsin leads the nation in fatalities. As of August 8th, there were 30. The three top causes were: failure to wear helmets, failure to wear seatbelts, and lack of completing a safety education course. If you love this recreational sport, please be careful out there. Take safety precautions to heart.   Have a good Labor Day weekend, Sharon

Rescinded – DNR Fire Protection Burn Permit Requirement

Due to the recent substantial rainfall and favorable forecast the DNR Fire Protection Section has rescinded the burning permit requirement order in the 13 counties in DNR fire protection.  This includes Portage County.  The order/special fire notice will be rescinded in Extensive Fire Protection Areas effective 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, November 9, 2024. 

What this means is that Burning Permits are returning to normal restrictions where landowners are allowed to burn clean, untreated wood, clean non-recyclable paper products and vegetation without a permit.

Burning permit will be required as usual only from January 1 to June 1 when the ground is not 100% snow covered.

Attached is the DNR press release.
