Community Notes
Bancroft
The City of Bancroft would like residents to be aware that from Dec 9-12, the Southeast Idaho Council of Governments will be in Bancroft going door to door doing a household income survey. The purpose of the survey is to show the local needs and enhance the chances of Bancroft getting grants for improvements. The survey takers should identify themselves as such, and of course the survey is optional but very helpful to the city.

Reminder that when snow is falling, parking curbside creates problems for snow removal vehicles, and can possibly lead to damage for vehicles. If possible, park vehicles overnight in garages, or off plowed streets in order to leave room for plows to operate safely. Residents in many areas are also encouraged to leave a small stream of water running through any pipes that are subject to potential freezing.
