Water & Sewer Department

 

Our Public Works Water and Sewer Department is the constant "watchdog" of our Wastewater Plant along with multiple other duties that include but are not limited to:

How and where should I report a sewer backup?

If a village resident has a sewer backup problem, he/she should call the Public Works Department at 715-273-4742 first. After 3:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or holidays, the Police Department should be notified at the non-emergency number, 715-273-3275, or call 911. Residents should state that they are reporting a sewer emergency. Backed-up sewer lines, line breaks, sewage odors, and overflowing manholes are considered an emergency.
