Water/sewer statements are sent quarterly in March, June, September, and December. Balance is due within 30 days without penalty. After 30 days, a penalty is assessed. If your water is shut-off, there is a $25.00 charge and to turn the water back on another $25.00 charge
Periodically, fire hydrants are opened to flush sediment out of the water lines. This is a necessary maintenance procedure. Closing your water valve at the meter can help prevent excess air from getting into your pipes and fixtures. When this procedure is scheduled, an announcement will be posted on this website, Facebook, and via email if you have signed up for Village emails. For more information, contact the Village Clerk or send an email to the DPW.
Scheduled repairs will be announced on this website, Facebook, and through email (if you have signed up).
