RESIDENTS LEFT WITH NO WATER AND NO ANSWERS

SAUK VILLAGE |  A watermain break near the CN Railroad on the Village's north side have left Candlelight Village residents and the YRC Trucking Terminal without water since 4pm Friday, October 31st.

Residents in the Candlelight Village mobile home park which is in Sauk Village have begun complaining of lack of toilet facilities and showers.  "We don't drink the water so that's not an issue but we have heard nothing from the Village" a resident said.

There was no estimated time for the repair to this major water outage given by the Village on the Village's official website and no email from village officials as of 9am Saturday.

There was no announcement of any village wide boil order which will take place since such a large portion of the Village's water infrastructure has been without water as the pipes have sat empty with no pressure in them.  Contamination can grow in pipes which have lost pressure for sometime and typically communities will have a boil order, however, no "official" word on the Village's website nor email alerts have been given.

As of the time of the publication of this report, there has been no official response from Mayor David Hanks or Village Clerk Debbie Williams.
