************************************************************************
AUGUST 9 ELECTION DAY
The Partisan Primary will be held on
August 9, 2016 at the Arlington Community
Center from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please
contact the Village Office if you have any
questions. If you wish to check your voter
registration or register to vote, please go to myvote.gov to
make the appropriate changes. Don’t forget your proof of
residence if you are registering and, most importantly,
your PHOTO ID to vote.
PRIVATE PROPERTY
The Village is lucky enough to have some beautiful
prairie lands around us. Unfortunately, this land is mostly
private owned so it’s not open for residents to walk their
dogs, let kids play, or dump yard waste without
permission. Please be respectful of others property and
don’t assume that because the road ends there, that it is
open for your enjoyment; especially if it is barricaded (or
was before it was damaged/stolen by someone). Private
property is just that and we are requesting residents be
respectful of others property.
BUILDING PERMITS
You may need a building permit if you plan to begin a
project such as inside/outside construction, remodeling
or installing a pool. Check with PJ at the Village office
before starting your project.
ARLINGTON’S FIREMEN’S FESTIVAL
The festival begins on Thursday, August 4 and
runs through Sunday, August 7 at Firemen’s
Park.
The
festival
website
is
arlingtonfiredept.com/Arlington_Festival.html. You can
support the Department by attending, volunteering, or
donating. The kiddie parade is Saturday with the big
parade on Sunday at noon.
ONLINE WATER/SEWER PAYMENTS
Customers can pay their water/sewer bills online. Go
to the Village website then Water/Sewer Utilities.
Customers will be charged a convenience fee plus $1.00.

Yes, the Village of Arlington Farmer’s
Market is up and running once
again!

May – October
Stop in and pick up your fresh
produce and bread. The bread
vendor will be supplying bread but

so if you have a favorite – contact
Amy to make sure it’s here for you.
We are currently looking for more
vendors and volunteers.
Do you love to stop at neighboring

GRASS MOWING
When you mow your grass – please be considerate
and keep the clippings off the street, sidewalk, your
neighbor’s driveway and vehicles.
DROPPINGS
Believe it or not… I have to remind residents to pick up
after their pets. There are a number of
residents that think their pet droppings are
acceptable to leave lying around. We really
don’t like this. Please be considerate
regardless if you are walking in the
Industrial Park or on Main Street. We don’t want to see it,
smell it, or step in it.
ANIMAL ORDINANCES
Section 7.06(b) of the Village Code prohibits animals
from running at large in the Village. All dogs are to be
leashed.
Section 7.09(a) of the Village Code prohibits owners
from allowing their pets to defecate on another’s property
unless it is immediately removed by pet owner.
Don’t forget, all dogs in the State of Wisconsin, must
be licensed with proof of rabies. Please contact Village
Hall for more information.
HOUSE NUMBERS
Section 6.16(c) requires building and house numbers
to be affixed on the front of each building within the
Village. Numbers should be at least 2.5 inches high and
able to be seen by a person of ordinary eyesight on the
public street. Please verify your home/building has a
number that is easily visible for our local Fire Department
and EMS should it be needed for yourself or one of your
neighbors.
