Welcome to the Village of Augusta!
WINTER 2010 NEWSLETTER Public Hearing : The regular monthly Village Council Meeting for February has been moved forward 1 week to Monday February 8th. There will also be a public hearing that same night at 7:00 PM, at the Village Hall. The purpose of this hearing is to consider the approval and adoption of the budget for fiscal year 2010.Police Department: We would like to remind everyone that it is dangerous and illegal to plow or shovel snow into any Village roadways or across the roadways. You and your snow removal person can be held criminally and civilly responsible. We would also like to remind all residents that it is a violation of Village ordinance and against State Law to ride snowmobiles on Village streets, sidewalks, right-of-ways, and on other people’s property. Radon Action Month: January is National Radon Action Month. Test your home and protect your health. Radon is a natural radioactive gas that you can not see, smell, or taste, but it could be present in your home. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, and the leading cause among non-smokers. Radon claims more than 20,000 lives per year, more than 600 in Michigan alone. If a high radon level is detected in your home, you can take steps to lower it to protect yourself and your family. You can purchase a low cost test kit for $10.00 at www.mi.radon.com or the Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Dept. at 3299 Gull Road. For more information on Radon, visit www.michigan.gov/deqradon or www.epa.gov/radonFire Hydrants: With another year of heavy snow, please take a minute to check the fire hydrants that might be in your yard. Cleaning around the hydrants will save our firefighters valuable time in an emergency. Also, do you have a reflective green house number sign in front of your house? These are available for a minimal fee from the fire department and assist them in finding your home when you need them to.
