Annual Water Flushing to take place the Week of October 17th through 21st

Water Main flushing allows any sediment and stagnant water to be removed from the distribution system and also provides an opportunity to test the operability of the hydrant.

During flushing, water may become temporarily discolored and customers should avoid washing clothes until the water has cleared. These steps are taken to improve the overall water quality within the distribution system and to ensure the delivery of the highest quality water possible.

Thank You for your Patience,

Tremont Public Works Dept.

Due to state guidelines that limit the school to 50 spectators in the gym for any given game, fan attendance is limited to only those with tickets distributed through the players. To offer our supporters access to view games, Tremont District 702 is offering an option to view all high school and middle school home games via live stream online on the NFHS network. This option costs $10.99 per month, but can be cancelled at any time. While this monthly fee is not ideal, it is a reasonable value when compared to admission costs for attending games in person. You can watch a month's worth of games for the cost of taking the family to one game in person. The school district does receive $1 for each subscriber as a reward for using the service. All but 2 of the Heart of Illinois Conference schools for our high school conference use this service as well, which means you can also view away games. With the streaming service, you can also watch games on demand and not just live events. We can't wait for the opportunity to fill the gym with fans again, but for now, we're thankful that the athletes at least have a chance to play.

Please follow the link below to view the NFHS Network info and how to get started. This link also includes all information we have on how to view away games via streaming options.

We look forward to seeing everyone again to celebrate the 2021 Tremont Turkey Festival.

In response to the economic hardships that residential and business customers may experience due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ameren Illinois is suspending non-pay disconnections and forgiving late payment fees through at least May 1, 2020.

From the Village President:

The village passed an ordinance a couple of years ago that prohibited the burning of leaves, garbage, refuse, and yard waste but it did allow for the use of bonfires and firepits providing they were used for roasting hotdogs, making s'mores, etc. or just watching the flames or glowing embers while you relax. My recent request to the board was intended to support the Tazewell County open fire ban.

However, after reading numerous comments concerning my decision, some positive, some negative, it is apparent to me that it may not have been one of my better decisions. After reading the comments (and I am sure that more than one log was burned in protest), I have decided to fall back to the ordinance as written and passed a couple of years ago. There will be no burning of leaves (village provides a disposal location in the fall), other yard waste (village provides a location for disposal at sewer treatment plant), garbage/refuse, building materials, etc.

Small open fires in pits or fire rings will be allowed. Please enjoy your s'mores, hot dogs, etc. When doing so, please be thoughtful of your neighbors.

As always, the village board meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month (unless it is a holiday, then on Tuesday). All meetings are open to the public and I encourage you to attend. There will be times that we go into a closed session, but by law that is only for discussion and no action (vote) can be taken in a closed session.

A Burn Ban is in effect until further notice in the Village of Tremont. The Police Department will be enforcing it.
