Colonial Pkwy Reconstruction

The project will continue the week of November 1^st with the pulverization and repaving of the roadway, spot replacement of curb & gutter, driveway approaches and sidewalks, new ADA ramps at the intersections, and replacing existing storm sewer and inlets. This work is weather dependent and subject to change. Paving is scheduled to begin later in the week. The paving schedule is largely dependent upon the condition of the road base and weather. Signage is placed to limit traffic to local residents only. Please drive slowly thru the work zone.

Hydrant Flushing

The Water Department will resume hydrant flushing throughout the Village Monday - Thursday, Nov. 1^st - Nov. 4^th between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

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 your faucets for a short period of time after flushing is completed in your area should clear the lines. You may want to bottle some water for drinking, cooking, etc. prior to the flushing dates.
