CIty of Harmony

The City of Harmony is pleased to offer the 2025 Tree Program.

All trees available through this program are of high quality, well-branched, and provided either potted or as bare root at the time of planting. The listed price includes planting of either bare root or container trees, as well as the installation of hardwood mulch around the base of each planted tree. Each tree is carefully fertilized, mulched, and watered after planting and comes with a one-year guarantee.

The City of Harmony will cover 50% of the cost for trees planted within the boulevard.
To qualify, trees must be planted within 12 to 25 feet of the curb and cannot be placed beneath power lines. The City is responsible for maintaining clearance around power lines, while the maintenance and care of trees remain the responsibility of the property owner.

If you wish to purchase a tree for planting outside of the boulevard, you may still order at the full list price. Orders, along with payment, must be submitted by May 12th 2025.

The City of Harmony Wastewater Treatment Plant has observed a rise in FOG.
Read below to learn what FOG is, the issues it can cause, and how proper disposal can make a positive impact.

What is FOG?
FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) originates from meat fats used in cooking, food scraps, cooking oil, shortening, lard, butter, margarine, gravy, and various food products such as mayonnaise, salad dressings, sour cream, and other high-fat foods.

Problems From FOG:

• Clogged drains or toilets in your home/business
• Raw sewage overflowing into your home/business or the house next door, resulting unnecessary and expensive cleanup costs
• Overflows of raw sewage into your local streets, parks, yards and streams
• Potential contact with disease-causing organisms
• Higher operating and maintenance costs, potentially resulting in higher sewer bills to you.

How to Correctly Dispose of FOG:

• Never pour FOG into your sink or toilet
• Don’t put food scraps down the drain
• Pour and wipe grease from cooking pans into a can (coffee can works well)
• Dispose of cooled grease and fats in the trash
• Recycle all used fryer oils
• Perform regular maintenance on your grease trap or interceptor (if you have one)

Per § 51.130, authorized City employees are permitted to enter properties for the purpose of inspection.
