What is this yellow card hanging on my door?
Our meter reader travels around the Village reading outside water meters so that water bills can be calculated and mailed out.  Once a year, the meter reader is required to get inside your home and read the inside meter.  If you are not at home for our reader to gain entrance he leaves the yellow card.  Once the reading is received from you, we then compare the inside reading against the reading taken from the outside meter.  The sooner you get the information to us, the more accurately we can compare.  Also, don’t forget to write your name or address on the yellow card along with the reading.


Does the Village have curb side pick up for yard waste and brush?
Yes.  Village personnel will pick up the yard waste on Mondays and Tuesdays twice a year during designated times in the spring and fall (dates may vary and will be listed in the Village Voice).  Leaves and yard waste may be placed in biodegradable bags, weighing no more than 50 pounds, and placed on the curb for pick up. Yard waste that is in plastic bags or not placed next to the curb will not be picked up. If residents do not want to purchase biodegradable bags or have yard waste any other time during the year, they may take their waste to the compost site outside the fence at the Wastewater Treatment Facility located at 521 W. Cedar Street. Any waste that is in plastic bags must be emptied and the bag disposed of in the garbage receptacle.

Curb side pick up for brush will take place on Thursdays the same weeks as the yard waste in the spring and fall.  At these times brush no larger than 3 inches in diameter can be placed on the curb but must be in fastened in bundles no longer than 4 feet in length and weighing less than 50 pounds. Residents may also take their brush to the compost site any time of the year but must also meet the size requirements mentioned above.


What can I burn and when can I burn it?
Residents can now burn such items as dry leaves, non-offensive dry yard debris and other like items between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (was 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) seven (7) days a week.  Residents must show responsibility in the monitoring of the burning, must locate any fires at least 30 feet away from any structure and should only conduct such burning at those times when weather conditions do not create a public nuisance which would result in danger to either health or safety.  A second alternative would be for Village residents to drop off their yard waste and brush at the Village’s compost site located by the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 521 W. Cedar Street


How can I pay tickets or Water & Sewer Utility bills after hours?
There are two (2) drop boxes available to Village residents – one (1) is located on the back porch of the Administration Building, 118 N. Mill Street and the other is located at the Police Station, 111 S. Nash Street.  These boxes were installed to assist residents in allowing them to pay their water/sewer utility bills, parking tickets or to drop off keys when the Village offices are closed or on the weekends.


How can I find items I left in a Village park?
If you left an item in one of our parks, it is very possible that it was picked up by one of our Public Works people.  Please call the Village office at 779-6011.
