Severe Weather Siren Testing |
 The Village of Saukville's weather warning sirens are tested, weather permitting, on the first Friday of the month at 1:00 p.m. to ensure they are ready in the event that they are needed to alert Village residents of approaching severe weather. The American Signal Corp. generously updated our siren control system with a new state of the art computer control and monitoring equipment at no cost to the Village. Installation and testing of the equipment has been completed and all five siren sites are fully operational. Our thanks to American Signal Corp for their generous donation. |
|
Brush Chipping | |
 Residents are reminded not to park vehicles curbside in front of or near brush piles prior to Monday chipping sessions. DPW crews cannot get their equipment close enough to branch piles which makes the job more difficult to complete and runs the risk of chips and dust getting on or in the vehicle. If branches are too difficult to reach, they will not be chipped. Please - no stumps or other yard waste. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Cross Connection Program | 
In order to reduce overall costs for compliance with DNR Regulation NR810.15, the Village of Saukville Water Utility has contracted with Hydro Designs, Inc. (HDI), of New Berlin, Wisconsin to assist in managing our Cross Connection Control program. There is no cost for the inspection and each inspection takes less than 45 minutes on average for a business and less than 20 minutes for a home inspection.
Starting in June, HDI will send postal notices and begin to perform the initial inspections of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings throughout the Village to detect actual and potential cross connections and make recommendations for the installation of backflow prevention devices or assemblies where necessary. This will help ensure that contaminated or polluted water cannot backflow into clean drinking water.
What Is a Cross Connection?
A cross connection is a direct or potential connection between any part of the public water supply system and a source of contamination or pollution. The most common form of cross connection is a garden hose, which is easily connected to the public water supply system and can be used to apply a variety of potentially dangerous substances, including chemicals and fertilizer. Other common cross connections include dishwashers, toilets, pressure washers, boilers, pools, and lawn sprinkler systems. |
|
Fire Pits | |
 Village of Saukville Ordinance requires that a Burn Permit be obtained prior to use of outdoor fire stoves or in-ground pits, and that such devices are to be used for recreational burning only. You must receive approval from the Fire Chief before installing a fire pit in your yard. Contact Village Hall at 284-9423 for more information.
