Participation is 100% voluntary, and non-participating patrons will not be impacted by the Program. OID will approve participation on a parcel-by-parcel basis to ensure that district operations are not harmed by Program activity.

Final program details are still in development. To stay informed on how to participate in the program, please contact Natasha Bellis:
