Good afternoon Village Residents,

 

I am happy to report that our Water Tower inspection has been completed, and full water service has now been restored within the Village.    Thank you to everyone for helping to assist in reducing water usage during the week to ensure continued water supplies within the Village.    A special thank you to our Village Public Works crew who both helped the Tower Inspection Engineers throughout this project, and were also called into work yesterday evening during the untimely power outage to ensure our Village pumps and generators were still functioning and providing water service.    This was truly a team effort within our Community!   

 

Stay tuned to the Village Voice and website for Spring drop-off return dates.
