Vehicle Sticker Sales Start

Applications for 2022 vehicle stickers were placed in the mail today. Stickers for passenger vehicles cost $30 if purchased by June 30. After June 30, a 50 percent late penalty is assessed. If you do not receive your application, you still need to have your stickers by July 1.

The Village offers an online payment system for vehicle stickers here. There is no additional charge for online payment. Additional vehicle sticker purchasing options include in-person at Village Hall, returning the renewal application by mail, or using the payment drop box located in the median just south of Village Hall on Jewett Park Drive.

This year’s vehicle sticker design features a “shop local” theme. The Village partnered with the DBR Chamber of Commerce to create this design in consideration of the economic impact that the pandemic has had on local businesses over the past two years.

Lawn Sprinkling Regulations in Place

From May 15 through September 15, lawn sprinkling regulations are in place. Even numbered addresses may water on even numbered dates from midnight to noon and/or from 6 p.m. to midnight. Odd numbered addresses may water on odd numbered dates from midnight to noon and/or from 6 p.m. to midnight. This applies only to lawn sprinkling.

As a reminder, all irrigation systems are required to have a backflow prevention device called a Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer (RPZ). This must be certified annually by a licensed Cross Connection Device Inspector. This testing and certification must be completed every year prior to the system going into service.

The Village has contracted with Backflow Solutions, Inc. (BSI) to administer the backflow prevention tracking program. The annual backflow assembly test report must be submitted electronically by your inspector via the BSI Online system here.
