2012 Fall - Village of Saukville

Village of Saukville Newsletter
Fall 2012 Edition
FROM THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT…
Hello!
Well, we certainly can’t complain about this summer if “hot” is what
we like! The sweltering weather took its toll on our yards and they
are just coming back to green in time for our kids to go back to
school. The 4th of July has come and gone. It's time to settle in for
the approaching and always beautiful fall and winter.
I’m hoping all of our eligible citizens exercised their right to vote in
the August 14th election. Let's not get too comfy though because it's
imperative that we also vote in the Presidential election on Tuesday,
November 6th. In many cases, decisions made at the Federal (and
State) level affect the local level … not always in a positive way!
Please join me at the polls at Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA on Tuesday, November 6th, and voice your opinion on the way you want government to be managed.
While you're out and about, I hope you spend a few minutes checking out new businesses and organizations in Saukville: Sass Accounting (221 East Green Bay Avenue), Golden Pearls (138 South
Foster Drive), C3 Electronix (414 West Dekora Street), Mad Max,
Inc. (725 North Progress Drive) and Carroll Converting, LLC (700
North Progress Drive). In addition, Johnson Brass has added a new
building which is located in the Business Park. Charter Steel and
Jeneil Biotech are adding to their existing buildings. Feith Family
Ozaukee YMCA has added an Archery Range to their many offerings. Saukville is growing … and the growth is diverse and well
planned!!!
Please know that the Village is in constant contact with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation evaluating the Highway 33 upgrade; the safety issues relating to driving there and progress which
must be forthcoming to keep drivers safe in all situations and all places. I ask you to keep in mind these enhancements, once completed,
will make all of our lives easier! And most important, please be cautious as you pass through the construction area.
The Village’s celebration of the 4th of July was excellent. What a
great day … sunny and warm. We were entertained by an excellent
parade and then offered music, amusements and food at Grady Park
in the afternoon. Later in the day, we moved to Peninsula Park to
enjoy more food and music. Saukville Sno-seekers and the 4th of
July Committee did an outstanding job all day. My sincere thanks to
all who helped make this a memorable 4th!
I'd be very remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to offer a sincere
THANK YOU to our local businesses who provided Saukville with
another year of July 4th fireworks. We had a wonderful crowd … our
own residents and people from other communities. I have no doubt
they will be back! Hats off to the following:
Charter Manufacturing, Inc., Tendick Family Foundation Fund,
Saukville Chamber of Commerce, Port Washington State Bank,
Injectec, Blau’s Saukville Meats LLC, Beck’s Green Bay Avenue
Mart, Kohler Credit Union, Saukville American Legion, P.D. Peterka and Associates, Inc., and Loyal Order of Moose-Saukville.
Of course, I'd like to add a big THANK YOU to Bartolotta Fireworks
Company as they did an excellent job in providing our own local "big
bang". We do look forward to next year!
Our “Live at the Triangle” Wednesday free music events continue to
be enjoyed by many. We offered six events this year … all having a
motorcycle/car show. Folks keep coming up with ideas on how to
make these events better and we keep listening. Thanks to all who
help make “Live at the Triangle” the place to be for free music and an
evening of family fun. We hope to offer this series again next year …
with some new music and new ideas!
Our Sunday Farmers’ Markets started out really slow but picked up
as produce became readily available. If you haven’t checked this
venue out, I suggest you do so. The offerings are wonderful and
freshly picked. There are also a few vendors who sell fresh flowers
as well as craft items. Farmers’ Markets will be offered through the
end of October.
National Night Out, which was celebrated this year on Tuesday night,
August 14th, was very well attended and it makes me proud to say
that Saukville is the area host. Police and Fire and Rescue units
from our area all came here to show us how they do their work and
how we can live safely. One of the best parts of this event was the
landing and viewing of the Flight for Life helicopter. In addition, free
food and drink was provided to all in attendance during the evening.
Very soon our Village Board and Management Staff will begin the
2013 budget process. We always start with a tour of the Village facilities so that Department Heads can give us a firsthand view of their
operations and an explanation of items requested in the budget. This
tour gives us the ability to make informed choices. We know the
choices we make today will last into and impact future generations.
Keeping that thought paramount in our minds, we try always to make
these financial decisions very carefully.
I want to take a moment to recognize the 33 years of service given to
the Village of Saukville by Utility Superintendent Gerald Dickmann
who retired this past July. Jerry’s vision for the growth of the Utility
Department was always “a cut above” and their accomplishments
under his guidance are many. We wish Jerry well as he enjoys his
deserved years of retirement knowing he led Utility in such a manner
that the staff there is prepared to move this department forward and
continue Utility’s past success.
That's all for now. I look forward to seeing you at the Saukville Village-wide Rummage Sale, Saturday, September 8th; the Saukville
Fire Department-Pleasant Valley Auto Show, Sunday, September 9th;
the Memorial Service for the victims of 9-11 at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
September 11th and the Chamber’s 2012 Saukville Scare 5K Run/
Walk at 9:00 a.m. on October 27th.

Emergency Management
PREPARING MAKES SENSE!
Research conducted by Wisconsin Emergency Management shows that only around 20% of Wisconsin residents have made preparations for emergencies.
Do any of these excuses sound familiar:

The odds of having a serious emergency here are slim to none.

It’s the job of emergencies services to take care of us.

If the emergency is really serious, there won’t be anything we
can do anyway.
Wisconsin Emergency Management and its Ready-Wisconsin Emergency Preparedness Program encourage everyone to join us on
Facebook, follow us on Twitter, read our blog, and join our e-mail list
to learn about disaster preparedness and current information about
disasters and emergencies. Information provided includes:

Breaking news alerts on emergencies and disasters as they
happen. We send you situation reports and other important information from the State Emergency Operations Center.
 Severe Weather Alerts: Through our ReadyWarn System, we
send Severe Thunderstorm Warnings as well as Tornado Watches
and Warnings for the entire state of Wisconsin to your Facebook
and Twitter account. These alerts can save your life and are especially helpful if you access Facebook and Twitter on a mobile device.
 Emergency Preparedness Information: We provide tips and
information for a variety of natural disasters and man-made events.
Learn what to do and where to go to keep your family safe.
 Press Releases: Keep up to date on emergency management
programs and initiatives.
To access any of these resources and for additional information visit
our website at: www.ready.gov .
AS THE SNOW FALLS…
The Village of Saukville Public Works Department reminds all Village property
owners that resident cooperation is essential to the success of winter snow removal operations.
Residents can help in the following areas:


Trash/Recycling Cart Placement: Cart must be placed with lid opening toward the street at the
back of curb or shoulder, with a minimum of 3 feet between cart(s) or other obstructions.
Utilize your driveway or clear an area along the side of your driveway to safely place your recycling
and refuse container. Maintaining proper clearances as shown above will make it safer and easier for
collection personnel and automated equipment to efficiently empty your containers.
Cart lid opening faces street
3 Feet
3 Feet
3 Feet

Do NOT shovel or blow snow into the street. This creates a hazardous condition for motorists and may
require return trips by the snowplow to clear the street. In addition, State Statutes and Village Ordinances
prohibit this action and doing so may result in a fine.

Shovel snow to the right hand side of your driveway as you face the street. This helps to reduce the
amount of snow pushed into your driveway by snowplows clearing snow from the street.

Move parked vehicles off of the streets prior to snowfall events. Parked cars are a hindrance to snow
removal operations requiring more time and costly return trips to effectively clear the streets. Residents
are asked to move their vehicles off the street whenever snow accumulations are forecasted.

Remove sidewalk snow to the front yard instead of the area between the sidewalk and the curb.
This provides more snow storage capacity between the sidewalk and the curb for snow removed from the
street.

Check the condition of your mailbox and post. In most cases, a strong post and secure mailbox
will withstand the impact of snow coming off of the snowplow.

Shovel snow from around your fire hydrant. Residents are asked to clear snow away from fire hydrants located near your property. This effort helps the Fire Department and the Water Utility to manage
the water supply system and to quickly respond to emergencies.

Stay at least 100 feet back from a snowplow in operation of plowing or salting streets. This is for
your and the plow drivers safety.
Thank you for your assistance in the success of our winter snow removal operations.
Dept. of Water & Wastewater

FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING
The Saukville Water Department will be flushing hydrants
throughout the Village between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
October 15th through October 20th. There may be
some discoloration in your water during this process. This is iron
and is not harmful. We recommend that you do not do laundry if
your water is discolored. If you forget and your clothes have a reddish appearance, DO NOT DRY THE CLOTHES; rather rewash in
cold water to remove the discoloration. Running the tap for a short
period of time will clear the lines after the flushing is completed.
WHAT is a Cross CONNECTION?
A cross connection is a direct or potential connection between any part of the public water supply system and a
source of contamination or pollution. The most common
form of cross connection is a garden hose, which is easily
connected to the public water supply system and can be used to
apply a variety of potentially dangerous substances, including
chemicals and fertilizer. Other common cross connections include
dishwashers, toilets, pressure washers, boilers, pools, and lawn
sprinkler systems.
HIGH WATER BILLS AND WATER LEAKS IN HOMES
Your water bills are determined by Saukville Water Utility
staff reading your water meter. When your water bill
becomes higher than normal, there is usually a leak in
your home. 95% of all leaks are toilets and most times
you cannot hear the leak. We recommend that you check your
toilets every 6 months to make sure they are not leaking. Place a
drop of natural food coloring in the tank - do not flush. Check it in
20 minutes. If color appears in the bowl, it is leaking water. The
toilet most likely leaking is the toilet rarely used. This is also a good
time to operate all of your valves in your home and to start reading
your meter weekly to make sure you have no leaks and that you are
only billed for the water you use.
In order to reduce overall costs for compliance with DNR Regulation NR810.15, the Village of Saukville Water Utility has contracted with Hydro Designs, Inc. (HDI) of New Berlin, Wisconsin
to assist in managing our Cross Connection Control program.
MEDICATIONS
Please do not discard old medications by flushing them
down the toilet or throwing them in the trash. Save
them in their original containers in a safe place. You
can drop them in the Med-Return Collection box located in the lobby
of the Village of Saukville Police Department, Monday through Friday during normal business hours, for proper disposal.
UTILITY BILLING PAYMENT OPTION
The Village offers a credit card payment option for payment of utility bills. You can pay in person at Village Hall
to utilize this service or use a secure link through the
Village website (there is a charge for the website service). Also
available is automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings
account. Your quarterly payment can be deducted automatically
from your selected account on the 25th of the billing month. Go to
www.village.saukville.wi.us to download the form to sign up for automatic payment. Avoid the hassle of writing checks and worrying
about late fees by signing up for auto pay today!
PLUGGED SANITARY SEWER LATERAL
If you find water standing in your basement, stop using water in
your house immediately. Then watch the height of the water on the
basement floor. It should stop coming up and should stay the same
or go down slowly. This indicates that you have a plugged sanitary
sewer lateral that leads to the main sanitary sewer line and you
should call a plumber immediately. Remember that low flow 1.3
gallon per flush toilets have very little water to flush the solids out
through the lines. Be careful what you try to flush down your sanitary sewer line. A lot of paper product in your toilet requires a lot of
water to move it along. If you have questions, please contact the
Saukville Wastewater Plant at 284-3185.
HDI will send notices to, and will begin initial inspections of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings throughout the Village to
detect actual and potential cross connections and make recommendations for the installation of backflow prevention devices or assemblies where necessary. There is no fee for the inspection, however,
all costs associated with the replacement, modification, installation
and/or testing of backflow prevention assemblies is the obligation of
the property owner. Inspections takes less than 45 minutes on average for a business and less than 20 minutes for a home. This will
help ensure that contaminated or polluted water cannot backflow
into clean drinking water.
SUMP PUMPS
Remember to check your sump pump and make sure it is hooked
up correctly to the discharge lateral and not to the sanitary sewer
system. Per Village Ordinance, it is illegal to hook-up or discharge
storm or clear water into the Village’s sanitary sewer lines. Since all
discharges to the sanitary sewer end up at the treatment plant, this
creates additional problems to properly process the wastewater for
eventual discharge to the river.
COLD WEATHER TIPS - PROTECT YOUR PLUMBING!
It’s ironic, but homes in mild winter climates are especially vulnerable to frozen pipes. Why? Because they
tend to have plumbing in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and
other unheated or unprotected areas. All it takes to freeze the pipe
is a cold snap that drops the outside temperature below 20 degrees.
If pipes are at risk in mild climates, it is not difficult to imagine what
can happen in more frigid zones. When water freezes inside a pipe,
it creates a blockage that causes pressure to rise. The pressure
builds up and the pipe blows. Play it safe and follow some simple
tips for keeping water pipes warm and cozy:




Wrap pipes with foam or fiberglass insulation.
Seal openings in exterior walls where cold air can get to unprotected pipes.
Disconnect garden hoses and place insulated covers over outdoor faucets. Better yet, install inside shut-off valves for outdoor faucets and drain water from pipes.
Leave cabinet doors open to let warmer room air get to the
pipes under kitchen and bath sinks.

The Saukville Fire Department would like to thank residents for honoring and abiding by the recent "No Burning" directive. We realize that
it may have curbed the outdoor summertime fun, but due to the extremely dry conditions, there was no other choice. We prefer to err on
the side of caution in these circumstances.
We also want to thank residents for being diligent about back-yard fires after the ban was lifted. Village ordinance requires that residents
wishing to use a portable or in-ground fire pit obtain a Burn Permit from Village Hall. In-ground fire pits require approval by the Fire Chief
prior to a permit being issued. Barbeque grills (charcoal and gas) are not allowed on balconies or on porches with a roof above them.
