Village Update – November 8, 2018

On Monday this week, our new website went live. The new layout should allow for easier information access. We’ve provided a box for feedback at the bottom of each page; please provide comments to help us make improvements.


Mark Poretta Excavating is finishing up the wastewater main repairs identified earlier in the year. It looks like they will be complete this week. PIM Corporation is also in the village this week waterproofing the 49 lower manholes. That work is also expected to be complete this week. The big trailer that has been at the wastewater plan all week is a sludge press. We are piloting a different manufacturer so that we can determine which press is best for our plant. The new press is a part of the capital improvements that were started in 2016 for the wastewater plant.
