*************************************************************************
HYDRANT FLUSHING
The Village of Arlington Water Utility will begin fall
hydrant flushing starting October 12 between 8:00
AM and 3:00 PM. The flushing of hydrants is done
to clean and remove sediment from water mains
that could cause discolored water to get into homes.
However, homeowners may experience some discoloration
of water the week of hydrant flushing. Discolored water
could be drawn into homes if water is used while an area
main is being flushed. If discolored water is noticed in a
home or business the discoloration can be cleared up by
turning on cold-water tap(s) until water clears up. If
discoloration or other problems continue call Dan Mulhern at
635-4781.
HALLOWEEN HOURS
The Village of Arlington Trick or Treat
hours are set for Saturday, October 31, 4:00
p.m.-7:00 p.m. Be sure to leave your lights on
so children know which homes are
participating. Once again, the Arlington Fire
Department will be open to all ghosts and
goblins to tour the department, sit in a real fire truck and
to enjoy some hot chocolate and treats.
POST OFFICE HOURS
Please be aware of the change in open hours at our
Post Office. I saw a sign on the door stating that the retail
window hours will be 11:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday starting November 7. Saturday hours will
remain the same.

B & B Bent and Dent groceries
will be a place to get groceries
for great prices.
Our mission is to give people in
the surrounding area a great
place to save money and still
shop close to home.
At most times, we will have
everything a regular grocery
store would have, although there
may not a large variety such as 5
varieties of ketchup, we may only
have one or possibly two.
If everything goes well, we will
be open by the end of October.
Please make a point to stop in to
check us out. As in most stores
similar to ours, you are going to
want to stop in often to catch the
newest deliveries.
We are located at:
N227 HWY 51

BUILDING PERMIT REQUIRED
Yes, you need a building permit (well maybe!)……
Don’t ask your neighbor, don’t ask the guy who just did it
down the street… call the Village office and get the
answer to avoid the possibility of double the fees for not
getting the permit as required.
 We do require permits for sheds and no it doesn’t
matter what kind of shed.
 We do require permits for fences, yes, even if you
are just extending an old one.
Please save the frustration and cost incurred by not
doing it properly – you know your neighbors are
watching and calling to see why you don’t have a permit
in the window. Building permit applications are on our
website – fill it out, include a rough drawing, and drop it
off at the office or in the night drop – I will contact you
right away if the permit is not required for your
particular work or I will forward it on to the Building
Inspector. No money needed until we issue it.
BRUSH PILE
Please DO NOT put your brush or clippings on a hot
ash pile. This will cause unnecessary smoke in the Village
or a possible un-monitored fire. The Village does not burn
painted wood or anything with screws/nails – please limit
items added to the pile to just burnable brush and limbs.
And, don’t forget – You’re on camera.

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.
