Sewer Project
The east side crew is continuing the work on Jensen Avenue, Wilson Drive, and Porter Avenue. The west side crew will continue working on Lincoln Avenue and the lift station in Gerdes Park. Concrete was poured on the sewer plant site itself last week, keeping construction on schedule. Please look for the stake with the lime-green flag that indicates where your hook-up will be placed at your property line as construction nears your home and let us know if you need to move it.
Water Department
The boil order issued on July 12th was due to a service leak, not sewer construction. Layne-Western was here on Tuesday, July 13, 2010, to continue work on Well #4 which is currently available for service; however, not yet in automatic mode.
Village Openings
The village will be looking to fill both the building inspector position as well as the seventh position on the planning commission. If you or someone you know might be interested in serving the village in this capacity, please call the village office for more information.
Looking Good / Improvements
As you may have already noticed, on West Fifth Avenue at Elliot Street, the old silos owned by Rabideau Grain have been demolished. Looks great Rabideau Grain, Thanks! In addition, drainage was improved at that same intersection during the past week. A broken tile has now been repaired.
The “bump” on Sixth Avenue at Second Street has been removed; however, the four-way stop sign has not. Please obey street signs within the village.
If you notice any vacant residences or lots that are in need of being mowed, please notify the village office.
Fun Days Committee
The Clifton Fun Days Committee would like to thank all of those who contributed to and attended the fun days. You all helped make the weekend a fun and enjoyable experience. Please know that your time and effort are appreciated.
