Everyone should have received our letter about lead/copper in our sampling of homes in Briarcliff. Again, as the letter stated, there is no lead in our system, only in the two older houses of the many sampled. If you have an older home and are concerned about your water, contact us to have your water sampled.

The Village Christmas decoration contest is again underway. Dates of judging are December 17-19. We encourage everyone to join in signs will be posted tomorrow.

As I’ve said at several earlier meetings, we are working on tightening the building program especially as it applies to clearing lots to build. We have our draft finalized and now its off to the attorney to make it legal.
