We want to inform you about a recent scam email targeting local residents and businesses. These emails may appear to be from the City of Pewaukee, but they are not. The goal of this recent scam email is to trick you into paying an invoice for a permit. Here's how to spot this scam:

1. Suspicious email address: Please check the sender's email address carefully, if the email is not from the City's email domain (pewaukee.wi.us) do not respond to it.

2. Scam emails often appear to be urgent, asking you to "act now", or asking you to make an online payment.

3. Be wary of unexpected attachments or links asking you to provide sensitive or personal information.

4. Many scam emails also contain unusual language, spelling errors, or odd phrasing.

If you receive an email like this, DO NOT reply or respond to it, DO NOT open attachments or click on any links. Instead verify that the sender's email address is from the City (pewaukee.wi.us). If you are unable to verify the email address, please contact the City of Pewaukee at 262-691-0770.

Your safety online is our priority. Please stay alert and do not hesitate to call the City of Pewaukee with any questions or concerns about a suspicious email at 262-691-0770.

Fall Hydrant Flushing – September 21 to October 23

Fall hydrant flushing will take place on weekdays from September 21 through October 23, between 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The City flushes all hydrants twice a year, in spring and fall. This routine maintenance is performed to check the proper operation of the hydrants and verify adequate water pressure and flow. Flushing also removes sediment from the water distribution system to help maintain water clarity and water quality.

Please note that temporary water discoloration may occur during flushing. This is normal, and your water remains safe to drink during and after flushing. If discoloration occurs, run your cold-water tap for a few minutes until the water clears. To prevent staining, avoid doing laundry during scheduled flushing times.

⚠️ Election Cybersecurity Alert: Stay Vigilant Against Scams

As elections approach, cybercriminals may attempt to impersonate election offices through:

• 📧 Phishing emails
• 📞 Voice phishing (vishing) phone calls
• 📱 SMS phishing (smishing) text messages

These scams often claim there is an issue with your voter registration or ballot and ask you to verify your identity using a link to a website that appears official.

Protect yourself:
✅ Be cautious of unsolicited emails, calls, or texts about voting.
✅ Do not click links or provide personal information unless you have verified the source.
✅ Access voter information only through your state's official election website or by contacting your local election office directly.
✅ Report suspicious communications to election officials or appropriate authorities.

Remember: Election offices generally do not request sensitive personal information through unsolicited emails, texts, or phone calls.

When in doubt, go directly to trusted official election resources rather than using links provided in messages.

Stay informed. Stay secure. Protect your vote.
