If you are a new resident, please initiate service by calling the Town office at 336-3360. The Town provides each resident with a 32-gallon trash bin and a 32-gallon recycling bin. All trash must be in trash bags inside the trash bin. If all your trash fits into the 32-gallon standard trash bin, then you need do nothing. However, if you generate more trash than fits into the 32-gallon trash bin, you may order a 65-gallon trash bin. The price for this larger bin is an extra $36.00 per year. If the 65-gallon bin is still too small for your needs, you may order a 95-gallon trash bin. The yearly fee for this bin is $52.80. These charges will be billed to you separately by the Town on your quarterly sewer and water bill, or yearly if you do not receive a quarterly utility bill. You will still be billed each year for your garbage collection on your tax bill as in the past. The quarterly charge for a 65-gallon trash bin is $9.00 per quarter, and the quarterly charge for a 95-gallon trash bin is $13.20 per quarter. If you need to upgrade to a larger bin, please call the Town office to order a larger bin. If you need to dispose of extra bags on an infrequent basis, these extra bags can be taken to the Veolia facility at 1799 CTH PP, M-F, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The cost is $1.00 per 33 gallon bag. Please remember that the Town's garbage pick up is for residential customers only-NOT FOR BUSINESSES. The above policy applies only to trash, not recycling.

For those residents living on CTH GV, including both sides of CTH GV, and everything EAST of CTH GV, pick-up for garbage and recycling is Wednesday.

No. You are only allowed to burn brush and must have a permit for this. The permit is free and can be issued for up to 5 days. Permits are available at the Town Hall and by contacting the Fire Department directly. You must notify the Brown County's non-emergency number (448-4200, Extension 5) prior to burning.

1. Contact an excavator.
   Sewer and water laterals have been installed to the right-of-way on your property. You will need to contact an excavator to put in your private laterals from this point on to your home.
    
2. Take out a permit.
   Either you or your contractor will need to take out a permit with the Town office. These permits cover our inspection costs and inform us when the work has been completed. The inspection is for your protection so that you are assured that a clay dam and enough stone is in place. You may want to talk to your contractor or plumber as to whether a backwater valve is recommended for your particular location. These valves prevent backups.
    
   The current cost of the permit for existing residences is $394.00 ($75.00 is for the sewer hookup, $25.00 is for the water connection and $294.00 is for Central Brown County Water Authority -CBCWA).
    
3. Call a plumber.
   The plumber will need to disconnect inside plumbing from your private well and prepare a fitting for the water meter. CALL US AT 336-3360 TO LET US KNOW WHEN YOUR PLUMBER IS COMING so that we can schedule someone to be there to set the meter and turn your water on. Please avoid scheduling a plumber on Fridays if at all possible.
    
4. You must have your private well capped or have it permitted for outside usage only.
   It is preferred that your private well be capped, however, at this time the District is allowing private wells to be permitted for outside usage only. These permits must be renewed every five years.
    
   A well driller can cap your well or you may opt to do it yourself by filling it with Bentonite after the pump is pulled from the well. Bentonite is available through most well drilling contractors or it can be ordered through Progressive Farmers. A DNR well abandonment form 3300-5B must be filled out and one copy sent to our office for our files. I can get you this form if you need one. An application for a private well operation permit is enclosed. To permit your well for outside usage, you must meet the requirements of Chapter NR 112 of the Wisconsin Administration Code by having a licensed well driller inspect the well and pump and sign the application form showing its compliance. Also, one sampling is needed to show that the water is bacteriologically safe. We will need a copy of the report attached to the application, along with the permit fee of $15.00.
    
   Please call Luann Pansier at 336-3360 (ext 105), if you have any questions or need further information

Hydrants are flushed yearly to keep the lines free from sand and residue buildup that occurs over the course of time.

Hydrant flushing is generally done in April and October. The Town of Ledgeview will notify its residents when hydrant flushing will be done. There is usually a notice in the Press Gazette and the De Pere Journal several days before the flushing is to start. There will also be a notice in the Ledgeview Newsletter.

You may see some discoloration in your water because the sediments in the lines are stirred up by the flushing. This discoloration is not harmful but it can stain laundry.

Hydrant flushing takes place during the day time hours and is usually done by 4:00 pm., so laundry could be safely done after that. Check your taps for discoloration and allow the line to run for several minutes, then proceed with your laundry. If your clothes should become stained, please stop in the office and we can supply you with a detergent to remove the stains.

Per Wisconsin State Statute 174.05, the owner of any dog more than 5 months of age must have their dog licensed and tagged. This statute is there for the protection of its citizens by making sure dog owners are current on their pets rabies shots. The tag numbers help to identify the dog, their owners, and their rabies shot vaccine in the event someone should get bit.

The first step is to get your pet vaccinated for rabies. A young dog should get its first rabies shot at about 3 months of age. The first rabies shot is good for one year. Thereafter, rabies vaccinations are effective for 3 years. Your veterinarian will supply you with documentation indicating that your pet has been vaccinated. This document should include the rabies vaccination date, the expiration date, the vaccine manufacturer, the serial number of the vaccine, the dogs name, sex, whether your pet is spayed or neutered, the color, the breed of the dog and the dog owners name.

Bring or send the rabies documentation, along with payment, to the town office located at 3700 Dickinson Rd, De Pere, WI 54115. There is also a drop box located in the vestibule of the town office building where you can drop this information off after hours. The office hours at the town are 8:00 to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. All rabies documents are returned to the owners with the tags.

Males:		$10.00
Neutered Males:		$5.00
Females:		$10.00
Spayed Females:		$5.00

Dog tags can be purchased from January 1 through April 1 at the rate shown above. There is an additional fee of $5.00 per dog, for any applications received after April 1st.

Per Wisconsin State Statute 174.05, a dog is considered untagged if a valid license tag is not attached to a collar which is kept on the dog whenever the dog is outdoors, unless the dog is securely confined in a fenced area. If the owner permits the dog to be untagged, the owner shall forfeit not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 for the first offense and not less than $50.00 nor more than $200.00 for subsequent offenses.

Records of all dog tag receipts and payments are sent to the Brown County Clerk.

Per Wisconsin State Statute 174.42, dogs running at large and untagged are subject to impoundment and penalties to the owner. A dog is considered at large if it is off of the premises of its owner and not under the control of the owner or some other person responsible for it.

If the owner of the dog negligently or otherwise permits the dog to run at large, the owner shall forfeit not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 for the first offense and not less than $50.00 nor more than $200.00 for subsequent offenses.
