Reminders for the upcoming snow season:
Snow plowing season is right around the corner. Please remember all of
the roads cannot be plowed at the same time. The priorities are to open
the roadways and widening of the intersections. Parking on the roadway
during snowfall is a ticketable offense. If vehicles are in the way,
plowing is less efficient and effective and in some cases impossible. Your
mailboxes should be secure to handle the snow thrown during the plowing of the
roadways. The clearing of the mailbox areas is the property owner’s
responsibility.
NEW RESIDENTS
Please be aware that Village vehicle stickers are necessary and can be purchased at the Village Hall.
The fine for failure to display a valid vehicle sticker is $25.

If you are doing any remodeling, check with the Village building department regarding the necessity of permits.

Foundation drains are not permitted to drain into the sanitary sewer lines, violators will be made to correct the situation and will be fined. Please do not put feminine hygiene products, disposable diapers, paper towels, prophylactics, grease, oils and toys down toilets and drains. Also, wash machines should be equipped with lint catchers.
