| Tree City USA Community |
 As a Tree City USA Community, the Village strongly promotes the planting of trees and shrubs on private property. Trees add value and shade, attract birds and provide aesthetic improvement to properties. When choosing a species, keep in mind the adult size and growth habit of the tree. Avoid trees that shed fruit or seeds, or trees that can literally take over your yard. Do not plant "weed" trees such as box elder, willow, cottonwood, aspen or silver maple. If not sure what to plant, consult with a qualified arborist or nursery.

FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE - Smoke Alarms & Carbon Monoxide Alarms | |
Did You Know?
As of February 1, 2011 there are Wisconsin requirements for both smoke alarms and carbon m onoxide alarms in almost all one and two-family dwellings, regardless of building's age. That means this requirement applies to pre-existing buildings. The new carbon monoxide safety net is for dwellings with fuel burning appliances, fireplaces, or attached garages.
Owners are responsible for alarm installations and occupants have responsibility to maintain the alarms. Owners must repair or replace alarms within five days of written notice from an occupant or an inspector.
Multi-Family Buildings-- Buildings with more than two residential units also need smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. The installation requirements for those multifamily dwelling are different.
Remember that alarms do not guarantee safety. Be sure that alarms are tested regularly and should have batteries changed at least annually, or when a low-battery warning sounds. Even if the alarm is "hard wired" most have a battery backup that needs to be checked and replaced as needed.
The Saukville Fire Department wishes everyone a safe summer. |

UTILITY INFORMATION - Summer Water Conservation Tid-Bits | |
Soak, don't spray. Install drip-irrigation or soaker hoses for more efficient watering in planting beds and beneath shrubs and trees.
Use a broom or rake (not a hose) to remove debris from driveways and walkways.
Conserve water naturally. Select plants that are native to your region and can thrive with little or no extra watering. Your local nursery can help you identify and select drought-tolerant plants. |
