Town of Cupar

The Town of Cupar would also like to use this time to inform and remind the residents of Cupar about some important matters of the town:

· Water billings: Every new residence using the water/sewer/garbage services in the Town must register at the Town Office. This service requires a $100.00 refundable deposit. Bills for the service are mailed quarterly. A 10% penalty is applied to overdue bills. Please keep your billing current, as well as your water readings. Non-payment of Utility Accounts may result in discontinued services without written notice. A reconnection fee of Fifty dollars ($50.00) will be charged and must be paid prior to reconnection to cover the expense of turning off the water and turning it on again.

· SEWER PROBLEMS: If you are having sewer problems please contact the Cupar Town Office at 723- 4324.

· Disposal site: DISPOSAL SITE IS CLOSED

· Dogs/cats: Please be advised that your dog and cat licenses are due for the 2010 Year. Please respect your neighbors as well as their pets; keep your pets from running at large or unattended. All pets must be licensed. Please keep your pet either on a leash or in your yard that is enclosed.

· RCMP: Call 726-5230 for reporting and 911 for an emergency. Also the RCMP will be enforcing the speed limit more strictly in the town.

· CUPAR FIRE DEPARTMENT: is looking for male and female volunteers. If you are interested please contact Danny Wagner @ 723-4281, Town Office 723-4324 or attend Fire Meetings every 3^rd Wednesday of the month at 7:30 pm at the Cupar Fire Hall. New Fire Hall construction has begun.

· CUPAR PUBLIC LIBRARY : Our hours are Wed to Fri from 10:30am to 5:00pm. Library cards are free to those 5yrs and up. We are having a “Bake and Used Book Sale” on Saturday February 13, 2010 from 2-4, with a “Toonie Trial” and a door prize, (a box of chocolates, donated by Prairie Pharmacy) and more. Any baking donations are welcome. Please come support our library fundraiser.

We are planning monthly door prizes to go with our themed book display. So far, our themes

are:

February – All things Lovely and Chocolatey

March - Easter

April - Gardening

May- Motherhood

June- Fatherhood

July- Oh Canada!

Aug- Saskatchewan

Due to the high costs of maintaining a computerized library, our funds are running low and

we’re asking for your help and support in this service. Please consider how you can help us

out. We hope to have a meeting with volunteers to start a weekly program “Preschool

Storytime”, as well as a “Monthly Kids Craft Night”. Congratulations to Drew Geber for being

the winner of December’s poinsettia with basket and to Lucille Ermel for January’s

“Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan” book with a cloth bag. Our cloth bag was made and

donated by Mary Ban – Thank you! We also have our own “sign board” made by Vera

Rakai’s grandson, A.J. – Thanks! Look for our posted events!!

Again, we thank you for your continued support in keeping this valuable service in our town.

New members and ideas are always welcome. Next board meeting is Tuesday, March 16 at

6:30 in the Library/ Legion Hall Building. Call 723-4749 during hours for more information on

our programs and resources.
