There is NO scheduled branch/limb pickup by the Village this summer. According to village ordinances, the piles of branches and limbs that are currently in front yards and ditches are the responsibility of the residents and need to be removed and not left there until the next village wide pick up is announced.
The Village will start picking up limbs on October 2 through October 6, 2023.
All limb piles must be placed along the street edge
BEFORE 7:00am the morning of October 2nd. Any piles placed after
7:00am on the October 6, 2023 WILL NOT be picked up. Piles must
not be placed out any earlier than 1 WEEK prior to pick up dates.
(per Ordinance) Size of pile restrictions are still in place per
Ordinance. Any piles larger than 6ft wide x 4ft tall x 8ft long are
considered oversize and will require a $75.00 fee to be paid before
pickup will occur. Residents who either have “Oversized” piles, or
were late setting piles out will be notified via a letter stating why their
pile was not removed, and any fees owed, and where to pay fees. Any
questions can be directed to Public Works Supervisor David Wilken

Due to current weather, Lake Springfield is stagnant and very warm. A perfect incubator for algae growth that causes taste and odor compounds. They are not harmful, but can give a dirty taste to the water. CWLP is feeding powdered activated carbon to help with the taste, but it will not remove it completely.
Copies of the information will be posted and available at the Village office.
