*** ANNOUNCEMENT***

The water leak on Pierce St has been repaired and no water outages were required. Thank you.

      
There have been issues with dogs wandering the streets of Creston with no leash and no owner present.  These dogs have been coming onto other residents' properties and have at times acted aggressive.  Per Chapters 10.6 and 10.32 of the Village Code, animals are not allowed to run at large in the Village.  The concern is not only for the other residents and their pets, but for the animals.  We don't want them to get hit by a car or come to any other harm.  We also don't want any animal bite incidents. If an animal bites someone and that person decides to report it to Animal Control, the consequences could be dire for the animal.   
Please click here to read Chapter 10.6 of the code, and click here to read Chapter 10.32.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
​
The Village has sent out Cross Connection Control Surveys to both residents and business owners.  It is important that you complete these surveys and return them to the Village.  We appreciate your cooperation.  Thank you. 

Please click here for information on the Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is requiring all municipalities to implement.  A letter is being sent regarding the timelines the Village must adhere to.
