REMINDER THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO FILL A POOL YOU ARE REQUIRED TO CALL THE VILLAGE HALL SO THAT A WATER METER READING CAN BE DONE BEFORE YOU START AND AGAIN AFTER YOU FINISH FILLING THE POOL. THE VILLAGE WILL ISSUE A SEWER CREDIT ONLY ON THE WATER USED ON THE FIRST FILLING OF THE SEASON.

THERE IS A LEASH LAW IN THE VILLAGE OF COLFAX FOR BOTH DOGS AND CATS - IF ANIMALS ARE CAUGHT "RUNNING AT LARGE" IN THE VILLAGE IT IS A $75.00 TICKET PER ANIMAL FOR THE 1ST OFFENSE. THE PRICE DOUBLES EACH TIME AN ANIMAL IS CAUGHT.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME ISSUES WITH RESIDENTS HAVING POULTRY IN THE VILLAGE:

ORDINANCE #13, SECTION 7 - ... IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL TO KEEP, PROPATE, OR CULTURE ANY LIVE SWINE OR PIGS, CATTLE, SHEEP, HORSES, PIGEONS, POULTRY, OR ANY FORM OF LIVESTOCK IN THE VILLAGE.

GOLF CART/ROV PERMITS - REMINDER TO RENEW YOUR GOLF CART/ROV PERMIT IN ORDER TO DRIVE EITHER IN THE VILLAGE OF COLFAX. ALL VEHICLES MUST BE REINSPECTED BY THE POLICE CHIEF AND A NEW NUMBER WILL BE ISSUED ALONG WITH A NEW PERMIT.

BURNING OF LEAVES AND YARD WASTE IS ALLOWED ONLY ON THE FIRST (1ST) AND THIRD (3RD) SATURDAYS OF THE MONTH FROM 8:00 A.M. TO 12:00 NOON. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BURNING WHILE SCHOOL IS IN SESSION SINCE THE SMOKE CAN GET IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM OF THE SCHOOL AND MAKE THE PEOPLE WITH BREATHING PROBLEMS ILL.

MAYBE INSTEAD OF BURNING SINCE THE EPA DISCOURAGES IT - YARD WASTE ONLY CAN BE TAKEN TO THE DUMP AND DISPOSED OF THERE!!!
