Hydrant Flushing |
|
 The Saukville Water Dept. will be flushing hydrants throughout the Village between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. October 15th through October 20th. 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. If you forget and your clothes have a reddish appearance, DO NOT DRY, rather rewash in cold water to remove the discoloration. Running the tap for a short time should clear the lines after the flushing is completed.

Emergency Notification Alerting System |
 Residents have long known that they may call 9-1-1 for police, fire, or medical assistance. What you may not be aware of is that the Ozaukee Sheriff's office, Public Health Department, and Emergency Management participate within a mass alert notification system similar to a reverse of the 9-1-1 system. They have the ability to send voice and text to text messages that alert the community to a variety of emergency and non-emergency circumstances. Such messages may be community wide or very specific geographically.
For further information about the system and how to be included please go to: http://www.co.ozaukee.wi.us/Sheriff/MyStateUSA/Index_MyStataeUSA.htm |
Cross Connection Inspections |
|
 In order to reduce overall costs for compliance with Wisconsin 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 as required by the State of Wisconsin.
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.
HDI is sending postal notices and has begun 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. |
