Winter Reminders 

Snow Parking and snow removal regulations

PARKING AFTER SNOWFALL: All vehicle must be moved off the streets any time there is "1" or more of snow to plow. Failure to do so will result in a parking citation and the minimum fee is $50.00

SNOW REMOVAL: Sidewalks must be cleared of snow and ice within 24 hours after it stops snowing per section 5.09 of municipal Code. The property owner will receive one notice from the Village and be charged for removal if not done by date specified. Any additional violations will be referred to the Rock County Sheriff's Department as an Ordinance violation.

FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY - REMEMBER TO:

1. Please keep hydrants clear of snow for emergency crews to access when needed

2. Please do not plow, blow or shovel snow into the street. This causes a hazard for vehicles and is am ordinance violation

3. Place garbage and recycling cans in an area that is free from snow and ice to prevent breakage of cans.

SEWER SAVERS

This is a kindly reminder that only TWO things that should be flushed into the sewer system are human waste and toilet paper!

Please refrain  from flushing baby wipes, moist wipes, plastic bags, kleenex, paper towel, cleaning wipes, food wrappers, towels, etc. Recently there has been a large  influx of non-digestible materials accumulating and locking up  the pumps resulting in costly repairs.The Village has spent approximately $15,000 just this year on repairs. It is our responsibility as residents to keep these items out of our sanitary sewer; so please be aware of this and SAVE OUR SEWERS!
