Hydrant Flushing

Hydrant flushing is scheduled for the week of TBD 2025. All areas within the Village may be affected during this time. You may notice your water pressure varying and potential sediment causing water discoloration. Residents are urged to observe clarity of their water prior to use. If discoloration appears, run cold tap water until it clears. Flushing is done as part of routine maintenance and to maintain the integrity of the water system.

Snow Plowing & Salt Guidelines

Grasses, Weeds & Leaves

Remember that grasses, weeds and other noxious vegetation are not to exceed 8" in height. If a property owner fails to maintain the vegetation the Village will do this work and charge the property owner at a rate of $150.00 per hour plus damages to equipment. Please help us keep our community looking good during this growing season!

DO NOT rake leaves or shovel snow into the street. It is an unlawful practice and you may be ticketed. (Ordinance 423.14). Additional snow in the streets cause build up problems for the plows, your neighbors and fire hydrants.

The Village of East Troy does not collect leaves. Leaves left in the street clog storm drains causing flooding and sewer back-ups. Please keep this in mind should any drains near your home become covered or clogged. Lend a hand and clear the way! Thank you!
