New Weather Siren

A new weather siren is being installed this summer. Residents will hear a different sound during the regular monthly weather alert test on the 2nd Wednesday. The updated siren ensures the entire Village can clearly hear the alert during severe weather emergencies.

Fire Hydrant Flushing

Hydrant flushing runs June 1-5 to improve water quality. Residents may notice low water pressure or discoloration. Run faucets until clear and avoid washing whites during this process.

Light Up the Night Festival

Street Sweeping

Spring street sweeping was a success and helped keep storm sewers clear of dirt and debris. Thank you to all residents who participated.
