Hello Florida,

      I have a couple of announcements to make for the coming weeks ahead. First, The DPW will begin to tar and chip several roads within the Village in the coming weeks. These roads include Maple, Jayne, Highland, Willet, Vandervoort and Edward J. Lempka Dr. This process helps keep our roads from degrading so we have fewer potholes to deal with.

      Second as we go through the summer, rainfall tends to slow or cease. This time of year you will also see if you drive along Glenmere Lake that the water level will begin to drop. I urge everyone to be conservative with their water usage so that we don’t deplete our wonderful lake. Little actions now can prevent bigger problems later, thank you.
