Property owners who need to fill a new swimming pool, or re-fill a swimming pool to replace a liner, may be eligible for a credit on sewer portion of their utility bill. Please contact the Village Office prior to the use of water to make arrangements and receive instructions for recording water usage. If arrangements are not made prior to the pool filling, we cannot accommodate a request for a credit. 

Note that a receipt will need to be submitted for proof of a liner replacement.

The sewer credit is not available for topping off or re-filling an existing pool due to other circumstances. 

An interest charge of 3% is added to any past due accounts. On October 15 of each year, customers with delinquent accounts are issued a notice of past due amount and intent to transfer to the property tax bill.

In accordance with the Village’s “cross connection control program” as mandated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the Utility provides periodic inspections for “cross connections” of the water supply. The purpose of the inspection is to identify any connections or potential connections of contaminant sources with the water system in your home. Click here to review important cross-connection information for property owners.

Disposable wipes — used for changing diapers, personal hygiene, housecleaning, and more — cause major problems when flushed down toilets. Because they don’t break down the way toilet paper does, these wipes clog homeowner and municipal sewer pipes, put stress on community wastewater collection and treatment equipment, and cause municipalities to spend thousands on premature equipment repair and replacement. Wipes snag on any imperfection in sewer pipes, catch passing debris and grease, and create a “ball” that will grow to plug the pipe. They also get drawn into sewer-line and wastewater treatment plant pumps and clog and damage them. Municipalities must manually clear out pumps or remove clogs.

Although many brands of disposable wipes are labeled “flushable,” don’t flush them! The clogs and backups they cause may result in expensive plumbing bills for your home, or increased wastewater fees from the utility.

Property owners are requested to do their part and help reduce the amount of chloride in our wastewater effluent. For more information about what this means and what you can do, click here.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires drinking water utilities to provide an annual Consumer Confidence Report to help consumers understand where their drinking water comes from so they can make informed decisions about their health and protection of the environment. We’re pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets Federal and State requirements. You can see the results on our latest reports by clicking here.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Federal Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) went into effect in 2021.

Under the LCRR, all public water systems (PWS) in Wisconsin must submit an initial Service Line Materials Inventory to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

In addition to submitting an initial Service Line Materials Inventory to the DNR, all public water systems must make their inventories publicly accessible.

We are happy to report that we have not identified any lead service lines in Union Grove. We currently have data on 81.7% of the service connections in town. If your property has an "unknown" designation, please contact the village so we can help you identify your service line material.
