He's baaaaack!

We had such a great time during Chad Lewis' last visit, we've inviting him back for another fascinating exploration of Wisconsin history.

"Put on your zoot suit and follow in the footsteps of America's most infamous gangsters as they turn WI into their personal crime vacation land. Filled with deadly bank robberies, explosive shootouts, brutal murders, and daring kidnappings, this presentation lets the audience discover the grisly locations where the gangster history will never die."

Good morning Butler. As we head into Fall, make sure that storm drains are remaining clear of leaves to help with water quality of the Menomonee River and to avoid any potential street flooding that may result from clogged drains!

Leaves are rich in nutrients including phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. When leaves are left on top of storm drains, these nutrients leach out into stormwater runoff, creating ‘phosphorus tea’. Storm drains then transport the nutrient heavy water directly into our rivers and lakes, often causing unwanted algae blooms that harm aquatic ecosystems and interfere with outdoor recreational activities. Stop brewing phosphorus tea by keeping storm drains clear of leaves this fall. Visit www.respectourwaters.org to learn about leaf management alternatives and take action by committing to keep a storm drain clean at www.adoptyourdrain.com.

Good morning Butler! After the severe storms last night, the DPW will be performing an extra brush pickup next Monday, August 24th. The crews will be doing their best to remove what they can today from the roads and will be taking down damaged street and park trees this week and into next. If you notice an unsafe street tree please call or email Village Hall to ensure that it is addressed properly. Thank you!

Do you know how to spot an illicit spill? Respect Our Waters tells us in this post how you can identify one of these hazards.

We all live in a Watershed. Contrary to the name, a watershed includes both land and water and is named for the waterbody into which the rainfall hitting that area of land will flow into and affect. Southeastern Wisconsin rivers, lakes and streams face major challenges from non-point pollution and a...

**EDIT The tower is estimated to be down approximately 30 days**

Good morning Butler! Please be aware that on August 3rd, Lane Tank will be starting maintenance on the Village's water tower. During the time they are working on the tower, the tower itself will be offline. The Village will have a pressure tank on site to allow for the uninterrupted flow of water to residents and businesses.

Also during this time, the City of Brookfield WI Fire Department will be taking precautions by staging fire protection measures at various points surrounding the Village to ensure resident and business safety while the tower is down. We currently do not have an exact schedule on when to anticipate the work being completed, but this post will be updated once that information is received from the contractor.

Thank you!

Good morning Butler! For those visiting Village Hall over the next 7-10 days, please be aware that the exit to the parking lot is going to be closed due to the concrete approach being replaced.

Residents will enter as usual off of W. Hampton Avenue and will then proceed down the alleyway to the East and exit on 126th Street. Signs have been placed around the area to help direct traffic.
