It is illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – visibility is restricted so assume a pedestrian is crossing. Pedestrians, PLEASE, use marked crosswalks and always operate the lights. You are helping to train drivers! After pedestrians clear the intersection, vehicles may proceed without waiting for flashers to stop. WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN!

Drivers must provide 3’ clearance when passing a cyclist! Save Yourself Time and Paper! Did you know you can get your monthly utility bill and newsletter via email? How about paying online? Or set up autopay. If your billing history shows you have a consistent monthly usage, arranging autopay is a great way to free up time and make sure payment is never late. To pay your bill online, have your most recent bill in hand, then set up an account or make a one-time payment by visiting https://www.municipalonlinepayments.com/tybeeislandga/utilities. To arrange for electronic billing or to set up an ACH (autopay), contact Nalene Conway at 912.472.5025 or email her at nconway@cityoftybee.org. (You can find the form at https://www.cityoftybee.org/DocumentCenter/View/401/Automatic- Payment-Form-PDF.) Water Testing Volunteers Needed The city is required periodically to test water in people’s homes for lead and copper. Homeowners do the testing. Results will provide a good indication of water quality at your taps. A description of the program can be found at https://www.cityoftybee.org/DocumentCenter/View/1743/LCR_Sampl e_Form. If you are interested in participating, contact sbearden@cityoftybee.org. 20 volunteers are needed. Movies in the Park This summer, the always-popular Movies in the Park series continues with: July 20 – The House with a Clock in its Walls, and August 17 – Mama Mia. Bring your blankets, chairs, snacks, and kids to watch these free movies in Memorial Park at sundown; projection will show the movie on the Gym’s north wall. Head to the gym in case of rain! Weather Siren Test Change Weather siren testing is at 11AM for Tybee, a different time than Chatham County. This time change will allow immediate voice notification following the test to confirm, ‘This is a test.” Testing still takes place on the first Wednesday. Water Supply Line Replacement Project Streets east of Butler are having water supply lines replaced. The dates are subject to change with the current schedule in a News Flash on the city’s web site. Obviously, water will be out nearby while each upgrade is under way.
