Village Voice: The importance of proper street address placement

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, July 31, 2013

You are waiting for your pizza to be delivered, and you wonder why it is taking so long. Finally the driver arrives, frustrated because she couldn’t find your address on your house.

Waiting a few extra minutes for a pizza is an inconvenience, but having an improperly placed street address, or no visible street address, could be a life or death situation when emergency services are trying to respond to a call.

Work orders for water and sewer services are issued based on street addresses, and if Village employees have difficulty locating your house number, your requested work may be delayed.

The first thing many of us think about when we think of trees and summer is the cool shade they provide our homes, yards, and sidewalks. Healthy trees continue to provide a valuable resource to our community.

Summer is also the time when we notice trees that are stressed. In the heart of winter, it’s hard for most people to tell if a tree is dead or diseased. However, in the summer, the lack of leaves, abundance of suckers, and dieback can be signs that the tree needs some care.

The Village Voice

Independence Day “It (July 2nd) ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.” - John Adams, 1776

While John Adams thought Americans would be celebrating their independence on July 2, the day the resolution for independence was approved by Congress, the sentiment has remained the same.

To celebrate this national holiday, the Village Offices will be closed July 4 and 5. The offices will reopen at 8 a.m. on Monday, July 8.
