Meet the Mayor
Wednesday, February 10th - 6:30 pm - Village Hall
Engineer Brian Mader will be available to discuss the plans to
extend the water lines for fire safety. This is your opportunity to learn about the project and get answers to any questions you may have about this project.
Water Main Extension Project
The project will place water mains in key areas of
Orange Village so that every home
in the Village will be within 2000 feet
of a hydrant. Water mains provide
a more efficient and dependable
way to fight fires as they provide
a continuous supply of water.

Having the address numbers somewhere on the home is preferred. The numbers should be clearly visible from the street.

Home Heating Fire Safety
The high cost of home heating fuels and utilities has caused many Americans to search for alternative home heating sources such as wood burning stoves, space heaters, and fireplaces. Heating is one of the leading causes of residential fires. Over one-quarter of these fires result from improper maintenance of equipment, specifically the failure to clean the equipment.
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is another danger when using heating equipment fueled by fossil fuel. It occurs most often when equipment is not vented properly. CO deaths have been on the rise since 1999. On average there were 181 unintentional non-fire deaths from CO poisoning associated with consumer products per year from 2004-2006 compared to 123 from 1999-2001 (Source: Consumer Product Safety Commission).

Snow Plowing - Salt Brine Information
This year the Service Department
will introduce the use of salt
brine to assist with snow and
ice control. Salt brine is a prewetting
agent that clings to the
road which helps the salt work
faster while reducing the amount
of salt used. Applying salt brine
in advance of a storm helps to
prevent a bond between the
snow, ice and pavement.
Do not push snow across street. You may be placing the snow in someone else's yard. What falls on to a drive or sidewalk stays with that yard.
Do not push snow to street end of drive and block visibility of on coming traffic or blocking a sidewalk.
Do not push snow against mailboxes. This can cause an accident and possible damage to the mailbox either directly or indirectly.
No person shall transport, snow plow or otherwise place snow, ice or other debris within seven feet of a fire hydrant to conceal or limit access to such hydrant. (Ord. 1986-18. Passed 2-12-86
Do find a place where you can push the snow at the other end of the drive or part way down the drive.
