This year's Easter Egg Hunt will be held Saturday, April 7th, at Grady Park, beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Rain or Shine).  This event is for children ages 9 and under.  There will be treats for all, prizes for the lucky few, and a visit from the Easter Bunny!  This annual event is sponsored by the Saukville Moose Lodge and Saukville American Legion Post #470.

The Saukville Water Department will be flushing hydrants throughout the Village weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. April 9^th through April 20^th.  There may be some discoloration in your water during this process.  This is iron and is not harmful.  We recommend that you do not do laundry if your water is discolored.  Running the tap for a short period of time will clear the lines after the flushing in your area is completed.  Please be aware of workers and equipment in the roadway and slow down when traveling around them.
