2012 DOG TAGS		WINTER DRIVING
20122 dog tags are available at the Municipal Office. All dogs residing in the Village must be tagged. If tags are not purchased by May 1, 2012, the fee will be doubled and placed on the property taxes.		It is a good idea to keep your gas tank almost full during the winter and to have extra windshield washer fluid and antifreeze on hand. You may want to prepare two small emergency kits - one to put in the trunk of your car and the other inside the car.   Don't drive during bad weather unless you must - give workers a chance to clear the roads. If you must travel during a winter storm, do so during the day and let someone know your route and arrival time.   If your car becomes stuck in a blizzard or snowstorm, remain calm and stay in your car. Allow fresh air into your car by slightly opening the window on the sheltered side, away from the wind.
STREET LIGHT OUTAGES
Please report any street light outages to the Municipal Office. Bluewater Power will only accept work orders from the Municipal Office. As a cost-saving measure, 2 or more lights requiring maintenance need to be reported before a work order is placed
