Happy New Year! 2012 has been designated as the year to clean up the Village of Elkhart! The Village of Elkhart Board is committed to tackling anything that spoils the look of our village ... and we want your help. Our aim is tell everyone in the village, from children to the elderly, how we can work together to improve our environment. There are properties that need to be repaired and vehicles that need to be cleared to make our village clean and green in 2012. We need to work together to clean up and green up! Have you seen the following?
Dead Animals Blocked / Flooded Drains & Gutters Grass that needs to be cut Damaged / Faulty Street Lights Overflowing garbage cans Damaged / Obstructed sidewalks Vandalism Beginning January 2012, the Village of Elkhart will send out letters to the property owners whose property needs attention and/or who have vehicles that are unlicensed and inoperable on their property. There is a tiny minority of villagers who think it's acceptable to litter our streets, abandon old cars or not keep their property tidy. If you see anything that needs attention, the Village wants to know about it! Place your suggestions in the water bill payment drop box at Village Hall. All suggestions will be confidential and anonymous. There has never been a more important time for us to take care of our environment. Whether it is the countryside, parks, homes or streets - we need to keep our environment clean, safe and green. ******************************************************** "Welcome to Elkhart" Do you have an announcement or event that you would like to make public?
