You "herd" it here first! Goat Bros, Hoof-Action Grazing is returning to provide summer grazing services in Superior!

This will be the third year Goat Bros has provided their herd of 300 goats to graze in the Town. Goat grazing contributes to the Town's wildfire mitigation efforts as it's a popular method for reducing brush and overgrowth in open space areas. In addition to reducing fuel loads, the goats help fertilize the soil naturally. Native seed is distributed throughout the grazing sites so the goats' hooves help sow it into the soil.

This summer, grazing will begin in a native open space parcel north of Fire Station Park and east of McCaslin Boulevard. The goats are then scheduled to move north and graze native open space parcels along the east edge of McCaslin between Christenson Avenue and Rock Creek Parkway.

Please remember that the goats are busy working and not to be disturbed. Your safety is essential, and we ask that you be respectful and follow all instructions from Goat Bros.

Please help keep our beautiful parks and open spaces healthy and safe for all by picking up after your furry friends and ensuring they remain on leash.

Leashing your dog is required by ordinance in Superior, but doing so keeps your pup safe, protects our local wildlife, and ensures open spaces remain a joy for everyone.

It's also important to pick up after your dogs when you're out enjoying Superior's parks, trails, and open spaces.

Aside from being a stinky nuisance, dog poop contains bacteria and parasites that can create health hazards for humans, wildlife and other dogs. When it’s left on the ground and not disposed of properly, dog feces can add harmful bacteria and nutrients to local waters.

Bring bags along and pack extra in case you run out or need to help a neighbor who forgot theirs. Make sure those bags end up in a trash can at the end of your walk! There are courtesy bags and trash cans located throughout Superior.

And don't forget, there are two dog parks in town where your dog can enjoy off-leash fun: Autrey Park Dog Park (1830 Honey Creek Drive) and Central Park Dog Park (2560 Central Park Way).

Let's all be responsible pet owners! Thank you for doing your part to keep Superior beautiful.

Roadway repaving is currently ongoing on Sycamore Street between Sagamore and Marshall Road and 76th Street between Coal Creek Drive and Marshall Road.

Asphalt milling is scheduled for July 1 and paving of Sycamore Street is scheduled for July 2-3. During milling, residents can expect temporary lane closures. During paving, residents can expect a full roadway closure of Sycamore Street, with traffic being detoured along Marshall Road and 76th Street.

Following paving of Sycamore Street, crews will begin paving 76th Street on July 7. The road will be closed on July 7 and 8 with traffic being detoured down Sycamore Street and Marshall Road during this time.

This schedule is weather dependent and may change. We appreciate your patience and flexibility while this work occurs! Please contact Public Works and Utilities at publicworks@superiorcolorado.gov with questions or concerns.

To learn more about this project, visit the Town Projects webpage.

Construction is ongoing at the Rock Creek Parkway and McCaslin Boulevard intersection.

Crews have completed construction work on the intersection's northwest corner and are currently working on the southwest corner, with work expected to conclude by mid-August.

This project includes removing and replacing the existing asphalt and concrete islands. The project will improve the roadway surface, correct drainage issues in this area, and bring the existing islands into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

During construction, residents and visitors can expect temporary lane closures, lane shifts, periodic sidewalk and bike lane closures, and some travel delays. Access on McCaslin Boulevard and Rock Creek Parkway will be maintained.

You can learn more about this project by visiting the Town Projects webpage or emailing the Public Works Department.

The Rock Creek Parkway Pedestrian Underpass Rehabilitation Project is in progress, with construction scheduled to conclude in early September.

This project is funded by a Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) grant and includes complete rehabilitation of the existing underpass. Construction has been completed on the eastbound side of Rock Creek Parkway and is ongoing on the westbound side.

During construction, residents can expect closures of the trail section under Rock Creek Parkway and temporary lane closures along Rock Creek Parkway above the underpass.

To learn more, please visit the Town Projects webpage or email the Public Works Department.

It is that time of year when Superior residents routinely irrigate lawns and vegetative areas on their property.

Irrigation is needed to maintain these spaces around your home during the dry summer months. However, residents should closely monitor the amount of irrigation water applied as over-irrigation has many drawbacks.

Irrigation water is not separated from regular water use and is charged the same way. Because of this, over-irrigating can result in unnecessary water charges.

In addition, over-irrigating can result in water runoff, causing water to run across public infrastructure like sidewalks. This often results in moss growth, a code violation in Superior.

Lastly, excess irrigation water can have negative consequences for your home's foundation. This water can drain near homes and impact the high-swale potential soils around Superior.

The Town offers several resources to promote water efficiency. Learn more on the Town's Sustainable Water webpage.

Take advantage of the Wildfire Partners General Rebate Program!

Are you interested in receiving money to help protect your home from wildfires?

Consider applying to the Wildfire Partners General Rebate Program, which is open to all Boulder County residents who rent or own a home in the county.

These six mitigation measures are eligible through the program:

• Junk your junipers: Remove this combustible plant from near your home.
• Fences are fuses: Fully replace or retrofit sections of your fence with noncombustible materials.
• The first five feet: Create a noncombustible zone around your home.
• Vents for defense: Properly screen vents to prevent ember incursion.
• Protect home base: Cover the bottom 6 inches of house siding with noncombustible material.
• Cut the clutter: De-clutter under your deck to reduce risk of ember ignition.

The following actions are not eligible for a rebate: Weed whacking, tree removal, slash chipping/removal, applying fire retardant stain or paint to fences, planting vegetation, or enclosing spaces under decks.

Find out more and apply for the General Rebate Program on the Wildfire Partners website.

The Colorado Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) Plan is a program designed to provide property insurance coverage for homeowners and businesses when coverage is unavailable through traditional means.

Wildfire Partners recently attended a webinar about the Fair Plan and shared what they learned:

The Fair Plan comes at a higher cost with limited coverage. It should only be used as a last resort.

The Fair Plan exists to address availability not affordability.

Eligibility:

Homeowners must be rejected by 3 different standard insurance companies to qualify for the Fair Plan.

Fair Plan policies may be renewed for 3 years. After 3 years, homeowners must reprove eligibility.

Major differences between the Fair Plan and Standard Insurance Policies:

• Fair Plan provides an Actual Cash Value (ACV) rather than cost to rebuild as in standard policies.
• Additional living expenses are not available with the Fair Plan.
• Actual Cash Value (ACV) is replacement cost minus the depreciation (decrease in home value due to age and wear & tear).

Only $750,000 in coverage is available for homes (residential property).

For example, the Fair Plan can accept a $2 million home, but with only $750,000 worth of coverage. Other policies (like wrap-around policies) can work with Fair Plan policies to fill in gaps.

Homeowners can not buy insurance from the Fair Plan directly.

The Fair Plan website lists agents all over the country who have agreed to provide coverage through this program. The homeowner must work directly with an insurance agent from the Fair Plan list.

Big news from Superior and Boulder County's EnergySmart: Superior residents can now cool off in a new way: solar shades! EnergySmart rebates from the Town and County can save residents up to $750 on the purchase and installation of new double-cell or cell-in-cell shades.

• Insulation – helps keep rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
• Noise reduction – air pockets reduce the transmission of sound from outside
• Improved privacy – top-down designs let in natural light while maintaining privacy

These new rebates are available now!

Additionally, rebates are still available for items such as insulation and air sealing, as well as for electric appliances like heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, dryers, and induction cooktops. While you can apply right through the EnergySmart website, EnergySmart advisors are also available to answer questions and help you apply. Call them at 303-544-1000 or email info@energysmartyes.com.

All rebates align and can be combined with rebates from other entities, such as Xcel Energy and Boulder County, helping you maximize savings.
