If you are planning a spring or summer building project at your home, such as installing a fence or a room addition, remember to apply for a building permit, as required by village ordinance for certain projects. Permits are available at the Planning, Development and Code Enforcement Office, 16240 Wausau Avenue. Call 210-2915 to learn to learn more about the permit process.

Speaking of building projects, remember to call J.U.L.I.E. before you dig to locate utility lines buried underground. It’s a simple call – dial 8-1-1 before any digging project. Mark your dig site in white before utilities representatives come out to locate the utility lines. Remember to wait the required amount of time before starting the digging project, which is usually 2-3 days after you call 8-1-1. Respect the locator markers, which identifies the location of utility lines. Finally, remember to dig careful.
