🌧️⚡ Attention! During this morning’s storms we have received reports of a possible lightning strike affecting our water wells. To ensure everyone has access to water, we kindly ask all residents to limit water usage as much as possible. This includes reducing laundry, showers, and outdoor watering. Your cooperation is crucial as we work through this situation. Stay safe and stay tuned for updates! 💧🙏

A gift bag was delivered to South Main Street this week containing a baby gift, a card, and a children’s book (pictured below). The home it was delivered to believes this may have been a mistake since they don’t have any small children.

If you’re the person who dropped off these items, they can be retrieved at City Hall, 103 S Main Street, Wayland, MI 49348.
