An upgrade to the electrical system at the Community Center has also been approved and should be completed by the end of the month. There was also several complaints about property owners not maintaining their yards. Excessive weeds and large containers were the problems. If your water meter does not work, please contact the village office to notify us. If we already know about it, the water commissioner is working on a replacement.
