Important Update for Village Residents
Good morning,
As part of our ongoing efforts to diagnose and correct the power issues affecting the village, power will be temporarily shut down this morning at approximately 10:00 a.m. for additional testing.
To assist residents, the village will be bringing in a dumpster for spoiled food only. The dumpster will arrive around 12 noon today at Riverbend Park and will remain available for spoiled food only for two days.

The Fire Station will remain open and available throughout this process.
I understand how disruptive this situation has been. Thank you for your continued patience, understanding, and support in this unforeseen act of nature while we work to restore reliable service.

After troubleshooting the initial power outage, our light and water department attempted to turn the power back on. Unfortunately, they experienced other issues and had to shut it off.
Outages could last at least 4 hours before power is fully restored.
If anyone needs to beat the heat, charge their phone or need a place due to medical issues, the fire station is open. There is a crew there to help if needed.
