WaterSmart Home Screen

WaterSmart is Live! 

The Village's new utility portal, WaterSmart, was launched this week. Visit WaterSmart - Account Lookup to create an account. You will need to provide your utility account number and zip code. From there, you will create an account by providing your email and creating a password.

Once logged in, you will have access to all the features WaterSmart provides. Check out your current bill and recent payment history. You can also pay your bill or schedule a payment for later. Don't forget you also have the option to enroll in autopay! 

Through the WaterSmart portal, residents can track their own water usage history with personalized recommendations on how to reduce water consumption. You can enroll in usage alerts that will notify you of any unusual spikes in water use. This feature helps you detect issues early and avoid unexpected high bills!

Brush PickUp Program

Spring Brush Pick-Up Begins April 7th

The Brush Pickup Program provides free curbside pickup and chipping of branches, which is then reused as mulch. This program is provided twice a year, in April and October. Last year, the program produced 1,765 cubic yards of mulch which was made available to Village residents for free to use around shrubs and flower beds. The 2025 spring brush pick-up will begin on April 7th. Please note that it may take more than one day to pick up all of the brush in a designated area. If your brush has not been picked up on the first day, please be patient.

Brush must be placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the day of your scheduled collection date to avoid missing your cycle. Visit our website to view the collection schedule.
