Keep Your Eyes Open For EAB

In southeast Wisconsin we are now at the peak of adult Emerald Ash Borer emergence.

As you work around your yard, please keep an eye out for green beetles walking on or flying around ash trees. For more information on the emerald ash borer (EAB), please visit Wisconsin's Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCAP) Emerald Ash Borer website.

4th of July Tradition

The Village of Bayside 4th of July parade

has a long history. Many of you have been participating for a number of years. This Studebaker first appeared in the parade back 1972 and can still be seen in the

Village today! If you have any old pictures

of Bayside we would love to see them!

Protect The Ones You Love

In an effort to raise parents' awareness about the leading causes of child injury in the United States and how they can be prevented, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has launched the Protect the Ones You Love initiative. Parents can play a life-saving role in protecting children from injuries. Protect the Ones You Love is dedicated to sharing information on the important steps parents can take to make a positive difference.

H20 Construction Update

The voluntary municipal water project continues to progress. Residents can view the progress of the water main work online. Any questions related to work progress should be relayed to Alex Henderson (414-351-8812).

A number of residents throughout the Village have expressed interest in connecting to municipal water. To express your interest, please complete a quick online survey.

Yard Waste Pick Up Reminders

The next yard waste collection pickups start again on Wednesday, July 31. Please only put your yard waste out the week of collection. Also, in order to be able to pick up everyone's yard waste the amount of waste that the crews can pick up at one home is 250 cubic

feet, which is roughly 10ft x 5ft x 5ft. If the crews notice excessive yard waste they will leave a tag on the pile.

If your yard waste is tagged you may schedule a special pick-up from the Village for $75 or make alternate arrangements to have the west removed. Any questions on this may be directed to Alex Henderson at 414-351-8812.

Clean Up Day Success!
