City of Battlefield -

Dear Battlefield Residents,

We're working diligently alongside Ozark Electric and City Utilities to address the aftermath of yesterday's severe storm. As per Ozark Electric, extensive tree damage requires crews to clear debris before restoration can begin, making it challenging to estimate restoration times accurately. You can monitor the outage status on Ozark Electric's outage map https://www.ozarkelectric.com/outages#CurrentOutages and City Utilities' map https://myaccount.cityutilities.net/Portal/PreOutages .

Storm Debris Cleanup: Property owners are responsible for storm-related cleanup. For small residential loads of tree limbs and brush, please use the Yardwaste Recycling Center (3790 S. Farm Road 119, Brookline, MO). Larger debris, including large trees and root balls, should be taken to the burn site at Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill (3545 W Farm Road 34, Willard). Brush and organic waste are accepted at no cost until further notice.

Please note, there is no curbside pickup planned by the City of Battlefield at this time.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work through this challenging situation together.

Stay safe and stay informed!
