Zone B brush collection starts next week

Free brush collection in Zone B will begin on May 13.

Place all brush at the curb by 7 a.m. on Monday morning of the designated week for your zone. Pile brush neatly so that the ends of the branches are all facing the same direction. Do not put brush in a container or in the street. Brush collection does not include contractor waste or large stumps. Check the Brush Collection Zone Map to identify your zone and review additional brush collection information.

Hydrant work continues

Along with the hydrant flushing that Public Works crews are coordinating through May 31, Village contractor M.E. Simpson has begun hydrant valve assessment and exercising for the season. This allows us to ensure that the water main valves are in proper condition.

M.E. Simpson employees will be wearing company branded jackets and driving company vehicles.
