The Village wants to welcome Tom Mackling to the Department of Public Works. Tom worked seasonal part-time for the Village but will now join the DPW full-time. You will see him around the Village working with the DPW team emptying the trash, picking up yard waste bags, chipping, mowing, etc. Welcome Tom!

The street department is preparing for the cold and snow. Please do not shovel or blow snow into the street. The street department is not responsible for opening the end of driveways after the plow has run. Please clear all obstructions and debris from the sidewalk in front of your personal property so that the plow can get through. The sidewalk plow is 48 inches wide. This also includes cars parked in the driveway that may cross a sidewalk. It is the business/homeowner’s responsibility to remove snow from the sidewalks. As time and circumstances allow the village will run the sidewalk snow blower, but not at the risk of equipment damage or sidewalk/property damage.
