The Williamsville Overpass project has begun!

Please check out our new Facebook page: Williamsville Overpass Project for pictures and information as the project progresses. Below is a map of the overpass (highlighted in yellow) and the school and Williamsville Fire Protection District buildings are highlighted in blue to help you get perspective. Unfortunately, there is no "artist rendering" of what the overpass will look like. Thank you for your patience as the construction gets underway and watch for heavy equipment throughout town.

Construction of the overpass project will begin on Monday, October 1st.  Several pieces of large equipment will be moved into the Village.  Please be aware of the heavy trucks and equipment within the Village.  We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience during this project.

One of the best things about small town life is the sense of community that exists among the people who live there.  For many years, Williamsville has been fortunate enough to have a group of people who care enough to lend their time and expertise to a number of community events each year.  With less government funding coming our way, the fact that we have a self-sustaining Community Foundation is very important.  This Foundation needs your "hands on" help!

We are actively seeking new members to join the Foundation and help us keep the community spirit alive in Williamsville!  We are struggling with a lack of new members and will be unable to continue on with the events that we currently put on, including the Easter Egg Hunt, Fourth of July Celebration, Fall Festival and Santa Comes to Town.  You can be as involved as much or as little as you'd like -- we'd love to have you join us!  We are open to new ideas and suggestions! If you'd like to sign up, please show up at any meeting -- 6:30 p.m. on the first Monday of each month at the Village Hall.  If you'd like to talk about it, please contact me directly at 217-306-0004 or call the Village Hall at 217-566-3806. Thank you for your interest!     

Several customers have contacted us regarding high water/sewer bills that they recently received.  These bills are for usage from December 16, 2016 through January 19, 2017.  Normally, our readings are 30 days apart, but this time there were a few extra days between readings.  In addition to the extra days of usage, the following may have impacted your usage this time:

• The Holidays – extra cooking, cleaning, and dishwashing for family dinners and house guests;
• School children were on break and likely home during the day; college kids were also home on break, and people were taking time off from work, and;
• House guests may have been there for the Holidays.

If the above doesn’t apply to your situation, 95% of the leaks that we see are from toilets.  Please put a couple drops of food coloring in the tank of your toilets (especially ones that don’t get used a lot), wait about 30 minutes and check the bowl for color.  If there’s color in the bowl, there’s a leak in the toilet.  Toilet leaks can add up quickly and you can’t always hear the toilet running.

If you have questions, please contact our office at 566-3806.  Thanks!
