Older toilets use more than 3.5 gallons per flush and newer units use a water conserving 1.28 gallons per flush. Switching to a newer, low-flush unit will help meet water conservation needs.

READ MORE  Lakeland Police Department Welcomes Four New K-9 Teams! On Friday, June 4, 2021, the Lakeland Police Department officially welcomed four new teams to their elite K-9 unit. Officer Javier Perez and K-9 Dunn, Officer Alex Rethwisch and K-9 Kodiak, Officer Zach Simmons and K-9 Jeff, and Officer John Skillman and K-9 Mako completed the last of their certifications to become certified K-9 officers. The new teams began their journey in January of this year, filling four open slots on the team. In 2020, the department had four members leave the unit; two retired, and two were promoted to Sergeants within the agency. With the guidance of the unit trainers, new canine partners were selected through a rigorous vetting process and matched to each of the officers. Over the last six months, the officers and canines have trained side-by-side, completing over 880 hours of training and successfully certifying in patrol operations and detection work. All of the new K-9s are trained in drug detection, as the team has two K-9s already certified in explosives detection. We wish the new teams all the best!STAY CONNECTEDONLINE | LakelandGov.netIN-PERSON | City Hall • 8AM-5PM • Monday-Friday (Holiday Schedule)SOCIAL MEDIA | Facebook • Twitter • Snapchat • Instagram • Vimeo • Youtube | @LakelandGovLISTEN LAKELAND • First Sunday | FM97.5 WPCV @ 8:30AM | FM 98.3 WWRZ @ 8AM | AM 1430 WLKF @ 8AM | AM 1230 WONN @ 9AMLAKELANDGOV APP • Google Play | The App StoreLAKELANDGOV PODCASTPUBLIC MEETINGSCommission Meetings • First & Third Monday • 9AMUtility Committee Meeting • Friday Preceding First Monday • 11AMLIVE BROADCAST | Spectrum 643 • Frontier FiOS 43 | LakelandGov.net/tv |
