There is a boil order in effect currently for the residents with water lines connecting to the areas highlighted in red.  The boil order is in effect until further notice and is due to a water main repair.  Village Maintenance expects to have water test results back tomorrow at which time the boil order can be lifted assuming the test pass.

With the chance of heavy snow fall this coming weekend, the Village Maintenance Department asks that you please respect the snow routes. Please do not park along the routes in case they have to plow. Please remember that these are tow away zones and the Village has a towing contract for snow routes. Thanks again for making this process as safe and quick as possible.

You can drop your trees off at the Village Building (507 W. Strong St) By the village sign along Strong Street. You can also put your trees outside by the curb and the maintenance department will be by to get them on Monday January 7th 2019.
