Air Quality Alert In Place For Entire State of Wisconsin Through Thursday, June 29, At Noon

An Air Quality Alert is in place for the entire state of Wisconsin through Thursday, June 29, at noon. Wildfire smoke from Canada is causing poor air quality for our state.

The best way to avoid wildfire smoke is to stay indoors. Be sure to:

• Close windows and doors.
• Run A/C on recirculate.
• Use an indoor air purifier.

If you must spend time outside during wildfire smoke events:

• Check air quality conditions before leaving the house and throughout the day.
• Avoid or limit exercising outdoors.
• Consider wearing an N-95 mask, especially if outdoors for an extended period.

City of Platteville Recreation Soccer has been canceled for the evening of Wednesday, June 28.  
The Platteville Family Aquatic Center and all other City of Platteville outdoor recreation programs will continue operating.  Patrons are encouraged to participate at their discretion and to actively monitor themselves.  We will continue communicating with county and state health officials to assess if future closures are advised.
