COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update for Town of Ledgeview
UPDATED 3/24/2020 3:00pm:
As the Town of Ledgeview has been deemed to provide essential governmental functions, per Governor Evers Safer at Home Order, we are looking to limit the potential exposure at municipal buildings to protect staff and the general public. This will also help us maintain our ability to continue providing essential services. Please call or email the respective departments to learn what alternate options there are to conduct business over the phone, email or other technology. A staff directory is available here: https://www.ledgeviewwisconsin.com/about-us/town-staff/.
The Ledgeview Community Center is closed, but for the exception of in-person absentee or “early voting”. In-person voting is available Monday-Friday from 8:00am-4:00pm.

Please Pick Up After Your Pet. It doesn’t take much to remember that we have pets in our community. In fact, if you don’t watch your step, you’re liable to step in one such reminder! Besides being unsightly and smelly, animal waste can be hazardous to the health of our children as well as other pets and animals. One of the most common forms of disease transmission between dogs is through fecal matter. When walking your dog in our community, remember that it should be leashed. Also, it is important to remember to immediately clean up after your pet. Take along a baggie with you to pick up waste with and then dispose of it properly. By taking a few simple steps to clean up after your pet, you can contribute not only to the beautification of our community, but also towards the elimination of one of the most irritating nuisances in our community. Remember, dogs and pets are not allowed in public conservancies or parks. Remember, personal responsibility extends to being responsible for your pet. Thank you for your cooperation!
(Rule #1: Pick up #2)
