Sewer Project

Crew #2 is currently working on East First Avenue moving west. They will then continue down the alley between Main and South First Street. Then they will go back to the corner of East First Avenue and Wilson and work going east on East First Avenue.

Crew #1 has been pulled out of town on an emergency dig and is scheduled to be back in the village on Thursday. When they return, they will be finishing Hancock and then will move to George Avenue. The crew will be installing sewer lines on the south side (to avoid gas and water lines on the north side) of George Avenue from Wilson Drive moving toward the east. The intersection at Wilson Drive and George Avenue will be shut down for a time while crews work.

Please remember, when crews are close to your residence, a stake with a lime green ribbon will be placed in your yard indicating where the sewer hook-up will be located at your property line. When that occurs, if you would like your hook-up in a different location, please contact the village office as soon as possible.

Recycling

Mark your calendar; the next scheduled recycling day is Saturday, September 4th from 8 a.m. to noon. Start saving your aluminum cans, glass, vegetable/soup cans, plastic, and paper (copy & notebook, newspaper, and magazines -sorted). You will only have to cart it a short distance to the Lion’s Club sign by the railroad tracks on Main Street where a recycling trailer will be waiting along with volunteers from the Boy/Cub Scouts to help unload and sort it.
