UPDATE: The individual and vehicle involved have been identified through multiple sources.

IMPORTANT COMMUNITY NOTICE: ZERO TOLERANCE FOR PARK VANDALISM

The Village of Merrillan is issuing a firm, zero-tolerance notice regarding ongoing property damage and illegal driving across our public facilities, including the Boat Ramp, Beach Drive, and Mill Street Park (Waterfall area).

We regularly receive feedback about the condition of the boat ramp and park grounds, and THIS IS WHY. Maintaining these spaces takes significant time, community funds, and effort, yet our team's hard work is constantly set back by individuals driving vehicles where they do not belong and destroying public property.

We are actively seeking information regarding the vehicle pictured below, captured on surveillance at the Lower Lake Dam / Boat Ramp area on October 7, 2026, between 2:53 PM and 2:56 PM.

OUR POLICY IS SIMPLE: ZERO TOLERANCE
A law enforcement case will be opened for every single incident. Anyone identified damaging Village property or driving in restricted park areas will be cited and legally pursued for 100% of all repair costs. No exceptions.

HOW TO REPORT INFO OR IDENTIFY THIS VEHICLE
If you recognize this vehicle, the driver, or witness illegal activity in our parks, please contact us:

PRIVATE MESSAGE: Send a message directly to this page
EMAIL: [email protected]
PHONE: 715-333-2332 or 715-333-7702
ANONYMOUS TIP: Submit via Jackson County Crimestoppers at http://jacksoncountycrimestoppers.com/TipForm.aspx?ID=P3-891&CX=323232

We love our Village parks, and we will do everything necessary to protect them and hold those accountable who seek to ruin them for everyone else.

Thank you to all the residents and visitors who help us keep Merrillan safe and clean. Please SHARE this post to help us identify those responsible.

**UPDATE: Everything is back to normal.

Substation: Fuse Replaced, System Under Active Monitoring -- Heavy electrical load caused a fuse to blow at the local substation earlier today. Crews have replaced the fuse, and our team is actively monitoring the system to ensure the fix holds under current conditions. With extreme heat, heavy air conditioning use, and peak evening energy demands straining the local grid, the system remains under high pressure. To help keep power stable and prevent another outage while we monitor performance, please minimize unnecessary electricity use during these peak hours.**
