** The Village appreciates the public's patience and cooperation as we attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by observing healthy social distancing practices.

If members of the public are interested in attending the Board Meeting in person, and are symptom free, social distancing and adorning a proper face covering will be utilized to mitigate the community spread of disease. Attendance will be monitored at the door.

All Village Buildings are Now Open

All Village buildings are now open to the public. Face coverings will be required in each building as well as adherence to social distancing guidelines as necessary.

We encourage residents to use online payments as applicable.

New Billing System

As of July 1, 2020 the Village will no longer be using Payment Service Network (PSN) as our payment service. Our new online bill pay provider Xpress Bill Pay (XBP) saves you time and gives you more flexibility in how you pay your bill. With this new program, the Village will be absorbing all credit/debit card fees to encourage residents to pay online. Please have your account number when setting up your account, if you are unsure of your account number please contact the Utility Department at 630-834-8500.
