NOTICE for COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic 3/11/2020
Village of Creston prioritizes the health and safety of our residents and employees above all else.
All emergency services will continue as always from Fire & Emergency Medical and the Water Department. Rochelle Municipal Utilities has also promised continued service for electric. Our Village President, Trustees, Clerk and Staff are continually in communication with one another as we realize this is an unprecedented and fluid situation.
The Village of Creston office will be available by appointment and by phone through April 8th, at which time we will re-evaluate. To make an appointment with Village Hall staff, please call 815-384-4140 and we will return your call. You may also reach us via Facebook and Messenger.
In order to best assist our residents during these uncertain times, Village of Creston will suspend disconnection of water services through April 30th. While the office is closed to the public, we urge our customers to pay bills via direct debit through their financial institution. Check or money orders may be mailed or delivered through the drop box located on the wall of Village Hall outside the main entrance. Currently, no cash will be accepted. Balances will continue to be billed and accumulate and we ask that everyone who can continue to pay their bills do so since our expenses continue as services continue.
Additionally, please take note that starting Monday, March 23, 2020, Northern Illinois Disposal will only take bagged waste from homes. Bags can be placed in the garbage carts or on the ground. Anything that has not been bagged (including bulk items) will remain uncollected at the curb. This NI Disposal policy will be in effect for at least 8 weeks - May 18, 2020.
