REMINDER TO GOLF CART OPERATORS/OWNERS: The City passed Ordinance #16-0002 in 2016 (see full ordinance in the Ordinance section) to allow and govern golf carts in the City. Some of the important points of the ordinance to remember are 1) Operators must be at least 16 years old with a driver's licence 2) the speed limit is 15 mph 3) ONLY golf carts are allowed, which means a "vehicle designed for transportation while playing the game of golf" 4) Golf carts are not allowed to be driven 1/2 hour before sunset until 1/2 hour after sunrise. Please keep these rules in mind and do not abuse this privilege.
NOTE: The City office is now open. Please follow social distancing measures when you enter the office and, per Executive Order No. 2020-147, a face mask/covering is required inside the building effective Monday, July 13, 2020. Thank you!
CITY DUMP OPEN. The City dump is open for YARD WASTE ONLY for City residents only. Please note the dump is being monitored by camera.

Announcement: The City of Petersburg asks that you please refrain from burning leaves within the city during 11:30-3:00 on school days especially if you live near the school. The smoke has become a problem for some of our children. We appreciate your cooperation. Thank you for keeping our children safe and happy!
If you must burn, do not burn in the street-it damages the asphalt (City ordinance).
