PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE UTILITY FLAGS


Homeowners could be subject to fines by JULIE for the removal of flags.  JULIE is a service for professional excavators and homeowners to contact JULIE before you dig to request the locating and marking of underground utilities.

While we certainly sympathize with the headaches that come along with construction season, it is essential that locate flags are removed by the utility company only.   Should you have any questions, call JULIE at 811.  Thank you!

CONXXUS/METRO FIBEROPTIC BROADBAND

They will begin boring in fiber to all streets in the Village very soon.  Sometime in the future, Conxxus will have representatives going door to door to explain the speeds and rates they offer for internet, TV, and phone.  They will bring the fiber up to your home if you select them as your provider.  This Company is from Sullivan, Illinois.   The representatives will have a Village Peddler Permit tag to identify themselves.

SURF FIBEROPTIC BROADBAND

After Conxxus is completely done with their work, we anticipate SURF will be coming into the Village to run their fiber.  We will keep you posted on any updates from them.

  • STOPPING FOR SCHOOL BUSES when lights are flashing.
  • WATCHING FOR KIDS crossing streets, especially near schools, bus stops, and playgrounds.
  • AVOIDING DISTRACTION while driving – put the phone down.

Let’s all do our part to ensure a safe and happy start to the school year!

IL EPA LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENT MANDATE

IEPA requires water systems to submit an initial lead service line replacement plan read here to the state by April 15, 2024, and an updated plan by April 15 annually for review by the state until a final comprehensive plan is submitted by April 15, 2027.  The Village has 660 water meters (residents supplied water from the Village of Ladd).  Of these 660, we have 15 residents who know they have galvanized pipe on “their” side of the meter or on “the Village’s” side of the meter, 395 residents who don’t know what type of piping they have on “their” side or on “the Village’s” side of the meter, and 250 residents have safe pipes to their water lines.    The Village Superintendent will be reaching out to residents who answered unknown on their cross-connection surveys in an attempt to determine what type of piping they have on “their” side of the water meter.    It is mandated that any lead lines or lead fittings be removed.   Residents that have “unknown” information or galvanized piping will receive a letter from the Village of Ladd, mandated by IEPA, to explain the situation further.   Read here the April 15, 2025, updated inventory sheet and here is the updated plan submitted to IEPA.
