🚨IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM ADMINISTRATOR CLERK KAREN SCHUH:

After the overnight and early morning storms that rolled through, clean-up in the Village of Vernon has begun.

Please stay clear of any downed powerlines. Do not approach any downed wires. Please call 911. Our VFD will continue to take the calls as they are dispatched.

I have been in contact with the Waukesha County Highway Department, and they are aware of county road issues in the Village of Vernon. Please be patient as Waukesha County has been overwhelmed with countywide damage due to the storms. PLEASE AVOID FOREST HOME AVENUE DUE TO NUMEROUS DOWNED TREES AND POWERLINES. Please find alternative routes if possible.

Residents are welcome to bring storm damaged tree debris to the Village Hall DPW area for disposal. If residents need the Village Hall DPW area open after 3:30pm, please call Karen directly at 414-719-2331 and arrangements will be made to accommodate any resident's needs.

I would also like to thank the Village of Vernon Fire Department VFFA for their tireless efforts in removing and cutting down trees as well as securing downed wire areas since midnight. They have been working non-stop in tandem with WE Energies dealing with massive power outages and downed powerlines. Thank you VFD members for all your great help! You are the BEST!

Any additional NON-EMERGENCY questions or concerns, please contact our office at 262-662-2039 or email [email protected]. *** FOR ANY LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE OR EMERGENCY, PLEASE DIAL 9-1-1 ***

Thank you.
