The Village Hall Office will be closed Wednesday, December 24, Thursday, December 25, closing at noon Wednesday, December 31, and closed Thursday, January 1 and Friday, January 2. Water bill payments can be left in the drop-box.
Water meters did not get read on time last week due to the winter storm. We apologize for the delay and they will be going out Friday, December 12th. With the combination of holidays and delay in bills going out, late fees will not be applied until December 31, 2025.
Reminder that the bills November-January tend to be higher due to multiple factors including weather that can lead to longer periods between read dates.
