The MDEQ (Michigan Department of Environmental Quality), in collaboration with MDHHS (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services), have developed communication templates to help notify the consumers of our water supply on the presence of PFAS in the drinking water and the response measures that are being initiated.  Please click HERE for more information on testing and education.

Hydrant Flushing

Routine hydrant flushing is done annually, in the fall. Notices are published in an approved source, a couple of weeks in advance.

Leaf Pick-Up

(Spring leaves may only be disposed of by burning or preparing as instructed by Waste Management**. Leaves are not picked up by the DPW in the spring.)

The Village of Romeo Department of Public Works will begin leaf pickup the last week of October and will continue until the end of November, weather permitting. Please have your leaves raked to the edge of the curb. If at all possible, DO NOT rake your leaves into the streets as this could cause parking/and or traffic issues as well as blocking of the catch basins.

You may continue to bag your leaves in the approved recyclable paper bags and containers marked or stickered as YARD WASTE or you may choose to burn your leaves throughout the months of October and November. Burning Permits may be obtained through the Bruce/Romeo Fire Department, please call (586) 752-2520 (Non emergency number).

After the November deadline, we suggest that the remaining leaves be used as compost for your gardens, or continue to bag the remaining leaves, tie and bundle the yard waste and store them until the pickup by Waste Management resumes again the first week of April.

Thank you for your cooperation. Should you have any questions, please contact the Department of Public Works at (586) 752-2684, Monday through Friday between 7:30 am and 3:30 pm.

**Waste Management instructions as follows:

# Place yard waste in paper yard waste bags, containers (32-gallon or less) clearly marked "Yard Waste", with a large "X" or with a "Yard Waste" sticker (available at the Village Office). Full containers many not exceed 50 pounds. Small tree limbs and brush, less than 2" in diameter, may be tied securely in bundles not exceeding 4 feet in length or 50 pounds. Please note that Michigan law prohibits mixing solid waste with yard waste for disposal. Do not place yard waste at the curb after the yard waste collection program has ended in November of each year. It will not be picked up.

Streets

There is NO OVERNIGHT PARKING allowed on village streets between the hours of 3am - 6 am. Street maintenance includes sweeping, snow and ice removal, paving, road cuts and repairs and signage.

Sidewalks

Village Ordinance requires the owner/occupants of any premises or property within the Village limits to clear snow, ice and debris from sidewalks adjacent to and abutting their property. Snow must be cleared when there is an accumulation of 2" or more. The occupant or owner must make a prudent effort to control ice accumulation by either removing or applying sufficient amounts of deicing material or sand.
