SEWER PROJECT
Surveying work continues throughout the Village for the sewer distribution lines. At the North end of the Village, Dawn Construction is getting ready to vertically bore under the CN Railroad tracks and the Old Route 45 State Highway.
Thank you to all of the residents that have stopped by the office and verified the location of their septic tanks. If you have not already done so, please stop by the office. The location that is marked on the village maps will determine where the sewer line will be dropped at your property line. The residents are responsible for running the sewer line from the property line to the desired location. It is in your best interest to have the sewer line dropped as close to the final destination as possible. This will cost you less in the long run. The more pipe you have to run, the more it will cost.
WELL #4
The Well #4 project has been started and digging will begin this week. The Village has spoken with the IEPA and has requested funding for both this project and the Locust Street main project.
VILLAGE PARKS / INFORMATION

CENSUS 2010
Thank you to all of the residents who have responded to the 2010 Census. As of today (3/30/10), the Village of Clifton’s response rate is 70%, while Iroquois County’s response rate is 59%, the State of Illinois’ response rate is 48%, and the National rate is 46%. It is important to get an accurate count of residents for our community. In fact, the information the census collects helps to determine how more than $400 billion dollars of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services.
