The Saukville Water Dept. will be flushing hydrants throughout the Village between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. October 15th through 19th and October 22nd through 26th.  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.  Running the tap for a short time should clear the lines after the flushing is completed. 

The 3rd Quarter Water Utility billing has been mailed.  Please check your mail for the green postage card bill.  If you have not received your notice, contact Village Hall.

Utility Billing Payment Options:

 - Pay at Village Hall by cash, check, or credit card by October 25th.

Also, the Village offers an Automatic Withdrawal service.  You can set up future payments for automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings account.  Your quarterly fee will then be automatically deducted from your chosen account on the 25th of the billing month - no more forgotten payments and no more late fees!  Simply provide the completed Automatic Payment Authorization form and return it to Village Hall at least two weeks before the next billing period.

The Government Accountability Board urges voters who may be unfamiliar with their new legislative districts to visit the Voter Public Access website: http://vpa.wi.gov. There, voters can check their registration status, find a polling place, and see a sample ballot.

95% of all immediate response in any disaster or emergency is conducted by bystanders or the victims, themselves.  Are you prepared?  Go to www.ready.gov or www.citizencorps.gov to learn more.

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 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.
