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. Q. How will hydrant flushing affect me? A. 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. Q. How can I prevent my laundry from becoming stained during hydrant flushing? A.

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. Q. What do I need to do to get a dog tag? A. 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 vaccine manufacturer, the expiration date of the vaccination, the name and the serial number of the vaccine, the dog's name, color, breed, whether the dog has been spayed or neutered, and the owner's name. Q. What is the cost of a dog tag? A. Males: $10.00 Q. What happens if I don't tag my dog? A. 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. Q. What does the Town of Ledgeview do with the money it collects for dog tags? A. Records of all dog tag receipts and payments are sent to the Brown County Clerk. Q. My neighbor has a dog that is constantly in my yard. What can I do about this? A. Per Wisconsin State Statute 174.42, dogs running at large and untagged are subject to impoundment and penalties to the owner.
