Sewer Project
Sewer line testing is continuing this week and it is expected that portions of the village will be able to hook-up by the end of this month. Notification of areas ready to hook-up will be made by email and newsletter posting around the village. The village office will keep track of hook-ups through the use of permits that will be issued for each property. When your property is ready to be hooked-up, a permit application needs to be filled out either by the homeowner or the contractor that will be completing the work for each property. When approved, a permit will be issued to proceed with work at that location. The permit should be displayed in the property’s window, visible from the road. The village inspector will ask to see the permit, complete the inspection, complete and return the permit to the village office for record keeping purposes. If you have any questions, you may review sewer information on the village website at http://www.cliftonillinois.com/, or call the office.Cross-Connection Survey
Residents should have received by now, via postal service, a cross-connection survey from the village. Your participation in the survey will not only help the village meet the requirement set forth by Ordinance 4-3-18, Section C, it will assist us in determining if there are any hazardous conditions, such as a cross-connection, that could affect our drinking water. Please complete the survey and return it to the village within 10 days of receipt.Easter Egg Hunt
The Clifton Lioness will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt in the village park this Saturday, April 23, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. The hunt is open to kids aged 11 and under.Clifton Lioness Club Seeking Help
As a community, we have lost one of our service organizations, The Clifton Women’s Club. Their most visible contributions to our village were the planting and maintaining of the eight planters located on the two block area of Main Street. The Clifton Lioness Club is seeking individuals, clubs or businesses to “Adopt-A-Planter.” The Lioness hope to help coordinate the plantings using at least one Perennial for each planter. Spring is not far away and we would like to have the planters started by the first part of May. Please call Dr. Deidre Deany at (815) 694-3633 or Ruth Rosenboom at (815) 252-2140 to find out more about adopting a planter.Village Board Meeting / Planning Commission Meeting
