Urban Wildlife | |
 Due to the proximity of the Village to the Milwaukee River and numerous wooded areas, residents often find themselves looking at deer, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and other wild creatures in their yards from time to time. While these creatures may appear benign, residents are urged not to feed or approach them. When encouraged to co-habitate near humans, they lose some of their natural fear and can become quite bold. In addition to doing property damage such as entering attics and garages, they can also be dangerous to humans and pets and may suddenly attack without provocation. Many are also known hosts for rabies. There have been at least 2 instances in recent years where deer have jumped through windows and caused considerable damage to the house in both cases. If you are experiencing problems with wildlife, do not try to catch it or call the Humane Society. There are reputable wildlife control contractors that are experienced with this that are listed in the phone book.

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. |
