This list is not all inclusive.
If you have a concern please contact us to make sure we are aware if you do not see it listed below.

• We are still hoping to have this guy fixed up before summer 2025!

• Electric Right-of-Ways – always in progress – we are constantly checking for trees, limbs, etc that could present a hazard to our system. High impact on resources including: personnel, equipment, downtime, repair costs, etc.
• Electrical Conversion – engineering/planning process – We are working with Power Systems Engineering through a Public Service Commission grant to develop a plan for implementation – The Village’s goal is to convert from our current outdated 2400 volt system to a 7200 volt system with high-risk areas buried underground. This will drastically increase reliability, reduce line losses ($), and allow for improved maintenance and safety implementations to take place. Also exploring options to increase efficiency of our hydro electric dam, including minimum flow and higher output, and exploring options for a solar plant with battery backup.
• Updating the Recreational and Comprehensive Plans – in progress.
• Multiple sewer/water line replacements – Goal is for work to be begin and finish in 2025.
• Cemetery and Gile Park pillar replacements – This has not bee completed yet, but is approved. Will be following up with contractor for Spring 2025.
