Sewer Project

The Village of Clifton, much to the delight of the Board of Trustees and Board President, Bob Frooninckx, received the first payment from the State of Illinois for almost one million dollars toward the sewer project.  The check received during the past week was for $969,137.00 and will go to the contractors and supplies for the project.  It is still requested that those residents that have not identified the location of their septic with the village do so ASAP as construction of the sewer distribution system is progressing quite rapidly in the north part of the village.  Sewer and water lines under the CN Railroad and Old Rt. 45 has been completed.  If you are unable to stop by the office during normal hours (M – F; 8 – 11 am), please call the office at (815) 694-2273, or e-mail us at villageclifton@yahoo.com,  to arrange an alternative method of informing the village of the location of your septic tank.  Construction crews will be posting notes on your door and stakes in your yard within a few days of starting to dig in your area.  If you have any questions, follow instructions on the note or call the village.  Sewer plant construction on the 11 acres recently annexed into the village is on schedule and the building is being built. 

Clifton Fun Days Meeting

The Clifton Fun Days are in need of your help!  There are currently volunteers for the beer tent, garage sales, and the 5K run.  We are in need of volunteers for all other areas.  Please join us on Wednesday, May 5, at 7:00 p.m. at the Clifton Community Building to lend your support.  If you would like to help and are unable to attend the meeting, please call the village office at (815) 694-2273, to let us know that you would like to volunteer.  The fun days will be held on July 9th and 10th.

Golf Cart Information

Stickers for the new fiscal year for those residents who own golf carts in the village were due on April 1, 2010.  Stop by the office to purchase your new sticker as the old ones are now expired.

Well #4 / Water Tower

Well # 4 is being piped and wired currently and we are expecting to be on line by early summer.  Water extension lines are being put in to supply water to the new sewer plant.  Water tower cleaning and painting should be completed in early summer as well.  Water issues in regard to main extensions and increasing water supplies are being discussed by the water committee.
