Through a process of town halls and community discussion, the Village is learning a lot from the community while building a growing culture of partnership with residents of our community. The Village held three Town Hall meetings on March 13, April 15, and May 15 to educate the community on the state of water works and were able obtain feedback from the community. The Village continues to invite public feedback, please do not hesitate to contact the Village if you would like to schedule a small group or 1-on-1 meetings. Arrangements can be made to tour any of the feasible water tower sites. The Village would like to have stakeholder meetings with the groups most impacted by the recommended water tower locations.
