All Residents:
Due to the age and condition of the valves, the planned shutdown listed below was not possible. To successfully install the new piping a shutdown of the entire village water supply was required.
The initial shutoff occurred at around 2:30pm today and is expected to last 3 to 4 hours. Please be assured that every possible measure is being taken to bring our
water system back online as quickly as possible.
After service is restored you must boil your water for 3-5 minutes for cooking and drinking, until otherwise notified. If you have any questions feel free to call Service Garage at (937)676-3241.
We apologize for the inconvenience

Village residents experienced a period of low water pressure Tuesday April 1 from approximately 4PM to 10PM.
A construction crew drilled through a water main and cause a major disruption. The first steps our Village crew took were to immediately assess the situation, call in a construction crew to repair the break, contact the media, EPA and fire dept., then start shutting the water down to the area to help alleviate massive drainage of the water tower. Notices were presented on the 6PM and 11PM television news and posted in 10 locations around town.
The notifications report a "Boil Water Situation" where for the 2 days following the incident, residents are advised to boil water used for drinking. This advisory is implemented any time the system pressure drops below a certain limit. At that point it is technically possible for ground water to enter the system in any area where the system may have a small leak. The advisory should last through Thursday April 3.

Pleasant Hill Weather Emergency Siren
The Pleasant Hill/Newton Township Joint Fire District has reactivated the old fire siren that used to be mounted on the water tower over the fire daprtment. It has been mounted on the grain elevator.
It will no longer be used to alert our volunteer firemen of a fire. Instead it will be used only for weather emergencies such as a tornado. When fully operational, the siren will sound for a solid 30 second blast. Residents should then seek cover until a second blast signals the all clear.
If you have heard the siren recently, don't worry. It is still in the testing phase and is not quite ready for service. The JFD expects to have the siren fully functional in time for this year's tornado season. Check back for more information and watch local publications for the announcement that it is online and ready to serve the community.

Pleasant Hill Press Release: September 17, 2007
The Village of Pleasant Hill recently received several large grants to replace W. Monument (718) and to make other village improvements.
One of the projects being considered is to improve the appearance of the northwest corner of SR 718 and SR 48. The Village Council purchased the building located 2 North Main St and is considering three options for the corner. These ideas were submitted in the form of design concepts by citizens of the community; Dr. Marcus Miller, Richard and Norma Holsinger, and Charles and Donna Hormell. All three of these ideas are in display in the windows of the 2 North Main St. building.
- Restore the building to look as it did at the turn of the 20th century and convert it into village offices and a council meeting room.
- Raze the building and move the Civil War Monument from the center of the 718 / 48 intersection to atop a small hill in the place where the building now stands. The corner would not only honor the soldiers of the civil war, but would be expanded to honor the local men and women who fought in all wars.
- Convert the whole corner into a parking lot with sidewalks and landscaping around the perimeter.
Both options 1 and 2 would add additional parking for the library to the north and potentially the west side of the lot. The additional parking is a requirement of the CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Set-Aside Grant.
The Village Council is currently obtaining estimates for each of these three options. We would appreciate if the citizens of our community would look at the displays and provide feedback on them. The council would also welcome any additional ideas. The final decision is expected in 6-12 months.
