**Water Main Repair**

The Village will be repairing a valve and the water main on East Daisy Street between South Gormley and South Patterson Street on Monday at 8am. To do the repair water will be shut off in the area on Monday morning . We expect loss of water on South Gormley Street south of Daisy, South Patterson Street South of Daisy. There is the chance that South Patterson Street and parts of East Hueston Street to lose water dependent on if more valves will need to be closed. If you experience a loss of water please let us know by calling 419-429-9150. A boil advisory will be issued for the effected area. We apologize for this inconvenience and we will work quickly to restore water on Monday morning after the repairs are made.

Thank you,

**Water Loss**

The Village Service Department was isolating water valves today for the water main break on Daisy Street. While turning off and on valves we received reports of residents not having water or low pressure. This was not expected as we were isolating valves on Daisy from South Gormley to South Patterson street but received reports a block over. Once we received these reports we immediately opened valves back up. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will be doing this again tomorrow to better isolate the area and decrease the amount of residents who will lose water during repairs. We will announce when repairs will be made. Should you currently have no water or are without water tomorrow for an extended period of time please call 419-429-9150 so that we can serve you.

Thank you,

Update on dump key: At this time, access to the dump is still open. Residents must sign out the key at the Village of Forest office. Council will be discussing how we are going to proceed with access moving forward. Residents have not been returning keys from the after hours lock box. This has caused issues with access for other residents. Thank you for your understanding and we will provide an update as soon as one is available.

If you have a key to the dump, please return to the Village of Forest office or in the night drop off. We are just asking to have them returned so other residents are able to utilize the dump.
