Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (TNVR)

Recently, the Village adopted the - Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Release (TNVR)- ordinance to decrease the number of feral cats in our jurisdiction. We now have a form available to Village residents who participate in TNVR that may be eligible for reimbursement. Per Peta.org, it is estimated between 60 - 100 million homeless cats live in the United States. We hope this new program helps educate others on the importance of spaying/neutering our furry friends. Please see further information below and know what to do when you are approached by a stray/lost cat or feral cat.

GROUNDWATER AWARENESS WEEK

Madison, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is celebrating Groundwater Awareness Week March 10-16, 2024. Groundwater is a vital resource in Wisconsin, with approximately 70% of Wisconsinites relying on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wisconsin’s groundwater also plays a critical role in supporting the state’s agricultural and tourism economy – irrigating crops, watering cattle, processing various foods, or feeding trout streams and spring-fed lakes.

Here are some ways that everyone can protect and conserve groundwater:

Annual water well testing and well maintenance: Private well owners should test their well water at least once a year, tend to any maintenance needs, and treat their water if necessary.
Recycle: Properly recycling paper, plastic, cardboard, glass, aluminum, and other materials can help prevent potential groundwater contamination.
Plant native plants: When landscaping, prioritize native plants. They look great and don’t need much water or fertilizer. When choosing grass, varieties adapted to Wisconsin’s climate can reduce the need for extensive watering or chemical applications.
Use water wisely: Don’t let the water run unnecessarily, fix any leaks, take shorter showers, only run full loads of dishes or clothes, water the lawn and plants during the coolest part of the day and only when they need it, and obey any watering restrictions during dry periods.
