Clinton celebrates July Fourth with fireworks and family activities

The Clinton City Council meeting on July 1, 2025, highlighted key community events and important infrastructure updates that will impact residents in the coming months.

One of the most anticipated topics was the upcoming July Fourth Fireworks Spectacular, set to take place this Friday at 9:30 PM. The event promises a day filled with activities for families, including a kid zone and a home run derby, making it a festive occasion for the community to come together and celebrate.

In addition to the fireworks, the council discussed a significant infrastructure project aimed at assessing lead and copper levels in the city's water system. Over the next couple of months, a contractor will be hydro digging around meter boxes to gather necessary data. This initiative is part of a state-mandated requirement that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring the safety and quality of the city's water supply. Residents can expect to see contractors in their yards, but the city plans to minimize disruption by providing door hangers in advance and taking care to avoid damaging landscaping.

The council also opened the floor for public comments, reinforcing their commitment to transparency and community engagement. As the meeting concluded, members expressed pride in the budget process and shared updates on potential new fire trucks that could enhance local emergency services.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's dedication to community celebration and infrastructure safety, with both events and projects aimed at improving the quality of life for Clinton residents. The council will reconvene in August to continue addressing community needs and concerns.
