Incoming Winter Storm

The Village of Merrillan wants to remind residents of reporting options during inclement weather that results in power outages or other major issues. Hopefully this Winter storm will spare us, but in the meantime if an issue comes up please make reports on our website listed below. Wet, heavy snow, along with the wind can easily take power out not just within the Village but on lines that lead into the Village from miles away that connect us to the grid. This type of weather can easily result in long restoration times.

https://merrillanwi.gov/report/

If you know of someone who does not have Internet access you can provide the following phone number for them to call and leave a message to report power outages as well, but please only use the number for those without online access and only for power outages.

1-334-715-0797 (0PWR)

If you have an actual emergency please call 911 (ex. fire, threat to life/property, etc) or the Sheriff’s Office 715-284-5357.

As always, any questions, please reach out. Be safe and weather-aware.

Notice: Village Shop Access

The Village is sending a notification that due to recent excessive dumping of recycling and trash, which is above normal and overloading the dumpsters, the Shop will only be open during business hours. There have also been thefts from the Shop recently.

The gate will be shut and locked outside of business hours. The Shop hours are Monday-Thursday, 6am-3:30pm, and Fridays 6am-10am. Entry outside of these times, unless specifically authorized, is prohibited.

As a reminder, there is no regular access to the Village dump, either. You need to call for permission and access. There is also no regular access to the Village water well sites, also due to prior thefts and security reasons.

It is also unlawful to bring trash in from outside of the Village, please see ordinance 8-3-8, https://merrillanwi.gov/ordinances/

The Village apologizes if this causes any inconvenience, but due to abuse and illegal activity, this is the current solution. Thefts, trespassing, and any other illegal or unauthorized activity will be identified and prosecuted.

If there are any questions, concerns, or special accommodations necessary, please let us know.
