*** ANNOUNCEMENT***
***Subdivision Update: The Village has been working with Tim Haydn to make sure that the water system at Creston Commons is in good working order. This includes testing the system for leaks. As a result of the testing that was done last week, water system repairs will need to be done at Creston Commons over the next few weeks. Please be prepared for possible water shut-offs and water discoloration. There may also be a strong chlorine smell once the repairs are done as we have to make sure the water is safe. This should be temporary. We will announce any shut-offs as far in advance as possible, and if the water is in any way unsafe, we will announce that fact and put a Boil Order in place. Thank you! ***
