This Week In History | | On March 6, 1899, the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin registers Aspirin, the brand name for acetylsalicylic acid, on behalf of the German pharmaceutical company Friedrich Bayer & Co.
Now the most common drug in household medicine cabinets, acetylsalicylic acid was originally made from a chemical found in the bark of willow trees. |

Our infrastructure is getting an upgrade. Sanitary sewer improvements will be completed in all of the Pelham-Heath subdivision, as well as tributary infrastructure. The Pelham-Heath area was designated as one are for repairs by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, based upon flow rates during wet weather periods.
The project, which was expected to cost nearly $400,000 based upon engineering estimates, was awarded to the low bidder, Visu-Sewer, for $319,346. Work on the project will provide neede d updates to sanitary sewer lines, including:
- 8'', 12'' & 15'' Pipe lining;
- Sanitary Sewer spot repair;
- 42 manholes rehab/repair;

The Village has a new look! New Village entryway signs were placed at entryways throughout the Village. While one sign will be placed after drier grounds prevail, you can still view signage at the following locations:
- Port Washington Road/County Line Road;
- Brown Deer Road (west of Port Washington Road);
- Port Washington Road (south of Brown Deer Road)

The signs replace the older entry signs, which were over fifteen years old, and required extensive rehabilitation or overall replacement. Check out the new look today! |
