Spring Reminders 

Brush and yard waste

The Village has two ways for you to dispose of your yard waste: 

Roadside pickup  bag debris such as leaves and grass. Bundle branches up to 3" in diameter 4" in length and place cut end toward the road for pickup. Please call the Village office to schedule pick up.

Take it to the compost area   Do not leave debris in the driveway area. Do not dump tires, garbage,household items stumps, or logs in the compost area. This area benefits everyone, and it can only be continued if the rules are respected. Fines will be issued for illegal activity. The compost area is open from dawn until dusk.

Public Alerts

The Village has a new program that enables us to inform residents of various emergent situations such as boil warnings, water main breaks, emergency shut off's, snow emergencies and much more. Please call the Village and update  your cell phone number, email address and home phone numbers to receive these alerts.

Hydrant Flushing

Beginning in April every Wednesday the Public Works Department will be flushing hydrants. A good way to remember is "No- Whites Wednesdays"

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!
