Currently authorized vaccines in the United States are highly effective at protecting vaccinated people against symptomatic and severe COVID-19. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published updated interim recommendations for people who have been fully vaccinated. Until more is known and vaccination coverage increases, some prevention measures will continue to be necessary for all people, regardless of vaccination status.

To preserve our drinking water for as long as possible and help combat the drought, City facilities have reduced their irrigation and have “gone gold” at right-of-ways, fire stations, water department sites, and other city-owned properties. We can’t do it alone, please join us by reducing your lawn watering.

The City of Spokane and Spokane County Master Composters/Recyclers have teamed up to release two new waste reduction classes.
