When individuals mow their lawns and blow the clippings onto the street, it can create a hazardous situation. The accumulation of grass clippings on the roadway can be likened to a sheet of ice, posing significant risks to motorists, particularly motorcyclists and bicyclists, who are more prone to losing control due to their limited traction. This can lead to:
The danger is not limited to the roads, as grass clippings can also clog storm drains in Village streets, leading to:
In fact, the Village of Merrillan has a specific ordinance in place about grass clippings. According to Section 6-2-18 of the Village’s ordinance, “Grass Clippings” shall not be allowed to accumulate on public streets or be dumped onto public right-of-way in such a way that they could wash into storm sewer drainage inlets in significant quantities.
To avoid putting others at risk and potentially facing these consequences, it is essential to mow your grass clippings into your yard or clean them up immediately after mowing. By doing so, you can help ensure a safer environment for all users of the roadways, protect your own property and assets, and comply with local regulations.

We remember the fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives so that we might live in peace. Their memory lives on in our hearts, and we are forever grateful for their service.
As we celebrate Memorial Day, let us also reflect on the values of patriotism, honor, and duty that they embodied. Let us strive to emulate their courage, resilience, and devotion to our country.
To the families of those who have served, we offer our deepest gratitude for your sacrifices and your unwavering support. May this day be a reminder of the importance of their service and the debt we owe to them.
May we never forget the price of freedom and may we always cherish the memories of those who have given their lives to protect our nation.
Thank you to all who have served. May your sacrifices never be forgotten.
Governor Evers proclaims May 22nd as Wastewater Professionals Appreciation Day – Congratulations to our wastewater operators on this well-deserved recognition! This initiative is part of a larger effort by the Wisconsin Wastewater Pathogen Surveillance Program to better recognize the participation of the wastewater utilities and operators in the program.
With the incoming weather tonight please attempt to report outages/issues direct to the Village. The Sheriff’s Office will already be overloaded if the weather hits. You can submit reports online directly of any outages, etc. We of course are also monitoring the weather and will be checking for any impacts should we receive severe weather.
Remember, safety comes first, and stay away from downed power lines.
