WaterSmart Coming Soon!

WaterSmart is Coming Soon! 

On March 25th, residents will have access to a new utility portal called WaterSmart.

Through the WaterSmart portal, residents can track their own water usage history with personalized recommendations on how to reduce water consumption. You can enroll in usage alerts that will notify you of any unusual spikes in water use. This feature helps you detect issues early and avoid unexpected high bills! 

Residents will also be able to view and pay their utility bills through the WaterSmart portal. Options for paperless billing and autopay are also available!

Stay tuned for more details on how to sign-up next week!

Strategic Plan Update is Coming Soon! 

This year, the Village is updating our Strategic Plan! As part of this planning process, we are conducting a survey to gather resident feedback about living in the Village, Village-provided services, and the key areas the Village government should prioritize for the next three years. 
We have partnered with the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University to assist with this  survey. The findings of the survey will help the Village plan for the future.
If your household is one of the limited number of households randomly selected to receive the survey, it is important that you complete the survey. These surveys will be mailed to the randomly selected households. All responses are confidential. No identifying information of survey respondents will be reported.
To see how the results of the previous community survey assisted the development of our former Strategic Plan, please visit our website.
