ADULT SCHOOL CROSSING-GUARD RECOGNITION WEEK - JAN. 18 - 22, 2016
January 18th - 22nd is Adult School Crossing Guard Week.  Parents, please take a moment to  recognize and thank Saukville's finest School Crossing Guard, Cindy Douglas.  Cindy has served as crossing guard in the Village of Saukville for 26 years and is very dedicated to, and conscientious of, all the students crossing our busy streets.  Cindy is at her post, safely crossing our kids every school day in all types of weather, even the most frigid winter weather.  The Village of Saukville is very fortunate to her.  When you see Cindy, please stop and take time to thank her, not only this week but throughout the school year.  Her dedicated service to our youth is greatly appreciated!
WINTER REMINDERS - As the Snow Falls... 

Removal of Snow and Ice 
  • Clear public sidewalks of snow and ice. Village Ordinance requires that residents remove snow and ice from their public sidewalk area within 24 hours of a snowfall.  Also, do not blow or shovel snow from your driveway or mailbox area onto the sidewalk.
  • Do not shovel or blow snow into the street.  This creates a hazardous condition for motorists and unnecessary return trips by the snow plow to clear the streets.  In addition, Village Ordinance  prohibits this action and doing so may result in a fine.
  • Keep your mailbox drive-up area accessible for U.S. Mail vehicles.  Residents are responsible for clearing snow from the curb area around their mailbox after a snowfall so that mail vehicles can access the mailbox for delivery.
  • Adopt a fire hydrant.  Please clear snow away from fire hydrants located near your property.  This effort helps the Fire Department and the Water Utility to manage the water supply system and to quickly respond to emergencies.
