 STH 33
The I43 north bound has been reopened. The south bound off ramp will be closed the week of July 9th after which there will be no more ramp closures. Concrete curbing crews and landscaping continue their work. The roundabouts have been operating as designed with few complaints.
Questions/Concerns should be directed to Wis DOT Field Representative Paul Piccione, 262-235-4000.
I43
The work on the I43 overpasses continues. The water dripping from the overpass is from water being used to cure the poured concrete in the hot weather. |

Summer Watering Reminders | |
While a person's natural instinct is to water their lawn when it turns brown, don't do it. First the lawn isn't dead, it has gone dormant. When rain returns, it will green up again. Secondly, if you must water, monitor the amount you apply and when you water. One inch of water a week is needed to keep a lawn green. For a lawn that is 100 feet by 100 feet, it would cost $50 per week to water it. Likewise, water in the evening, not in the heat of day where much will be lost to evaporation.
The Village of Saukville no longer offers the summer sewer credit and water evaporates very quickly in extreme mid-day heat - you are actually using more water when watering during the peak mid-day heat. We recommend watering after 6:00 p.m. for optimum efficiency. |

Cross Connection Program | |
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.
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.
HDI will be sending postal notices and will begin to perform 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. 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. |
