Call JULIE before you dig! 1-800-892-0123
From The Village Board & Fire
Department
In case of and emergency the last thing you want to
happen is for the Fire Department or Ambulance not be able to locate
your home. Remember to properly identify your home with your
house number. House number questions can be directed to the
Village Office at 697-2214.
Building Inspector Information
When thinking about a building project and not sure
if you need a permit--please call Dale Prairie at 694-2583
In a lot of cases you may only need a temporary permit at no charge
and these are not turned into the tax assessor to make your property
taxes rise. Not having a permit can result in a fine even if
the permit was to be a temporary one. Any work done inside of
a building needs a permit if it involves altering the wall's,
electrical and plumbing. Always call J.U.L.I.E at
(800)-892-0123 before doing any digging whatsoever. If you hit
a utility line without a permit the cost will be expensive and
J.U.L.I.E also will fine you on top of that for not calling
them. Let's work together to keep Chebanse a safe and good
place to live.

WHAT
TO DO WHEN A BOIL ORDER HAS BEEN
ISSUED!!
When there is
a disruption to your water service due to a water main break, etc,
the following steps are taken by the
Village
when a boil
order is issued.
1) Radio stations are called:
WGFA, Watseka, WKAN, Kankakee; and WVLI,
Kankakee
2) Kankakee
Daily Journal is contacted
3) Notices are placed throughout town in
several places, Bank, Post Office, Restaurant, Gas
Station
During a boil
order, the water should be brought to a rolling boil for 3 to 5
minutes. If your water service has not been disrupted and you
hear there is a boil order, it is NOT necessary for you to boil the
water. Only when your water service has been
disrupted.
When the water
is turned back on, Mark Swinford from the Water Maintenance
Department will take samples of the water from various locations and
submit them for testing. Once the tests are received back with
approval, the boil order will be discontinued. The above radio
stations and paper will be
contacted.

FROM ANIMAL
CONTROL
Just a reminder to everyone with outdoor pets to please make
certain your animals have plenty of shade, food and cool, clean
water during the coming hot weather months. And remember that a car
with closed or only slightly opened windows can quickly turn
dangerously hot so leave the pets at home where they are
safe.
Once again, I would like to ask
the residents of the Village to please email or send me photos of
your pets! if you don’t have access to a digital camera, call me and
I will come take the photos for you. These pictures will be put in a
database that will make it easy to return lost pets. There is no
charge for being in the database or for having me take a photo.
However, this does not mean you don’t have to register and pay for
tags in the county you reside in. Any animal bites should be
reported to me as soon as possible. My email address is:
jpapineau9@comcast.net Phone #697-2062 In an emergency, call the Village
Hall or the Police Chief as they can reach me by cell
phone.
