The Public Works department worked late into the night to ensure all Village streets and right of ways were cleared of branches and large debris from last evening's storms. Xcel is aware of the branch on the powerline on Monroe Street N., and we have barricaded that area until Xcel can address it. Public Works will start sweeping the streets for smaller debris and leaves. Please note that the streets seal coated last week cannot be swept at this time.

Our Emergency Management director has confirmed that the Village will not be declaring an emergency following last night's storm. The damage across the Village is not sufficient to justify it.

Consequently, the Village will not be collecting private tree branches or limbs from residents. Please do not place your debris at the curb unless you have arranged for a private service to pick it up. Doing so will affect the Village's ability to sweep the streets.

Thank you for your cooperation.
