Hurricane Season Is Here ... Be Prepared!
It's that time of year again - hurricane season
began June 1 and ends officially on November 30. Now is the time
to recheck your hurricane plan and make sure your evacuation and
shelter-in-place kits are stocked. The Village's Hurricane and Flood Information
webpages are full of information and handy checklists to prepare
your family, pets, home and garden, pool, vehicles and boat.

Water-Sewer-Reuse Project Update
Sewer work on the final section of streets west of
Crandon Boulevard continues as the project enters its third year. New
water pipes in Zone 2/3 are installed; once certification is complete,
residences will be switched to the new system. Homes in Zone 1 and 4
are already hooked up to the new water pipes. Zone 4 residents should
be able to connect to the new sewer system by August. For weekly
updates on work locations, street closures, detours, etc., visit the WSR News article at the Village website.

Mosquito Control ... What You Can Do
Residents should call the Miami-Dade County Help Line at
3-1-1 and report mosquito infestations to trigger a spray mission by
the County, and/or to be notified in advance of spraying. Check around
your home for any containers that may hold standing water. For more
information on how the Village Public Works Department supplements
County mosquito control efforts, visit the Village Mosquito Control webpage.

Village Department News You Can Use
Building, Zoning and Planning:
Homeowners and multifamily/commercial property owners should check that
address numbers are clearly visible from the street so that emergency
response personnel can easily find the location. Guidelines and requirements are
available at the Village website.
Fire
Rescue:
Free CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation)/AED
(Automated External Defibrillator) and First Aid classes are offered
year round on request. The minimum class size is four. Call the Fire
Rescue Training Center at (305) 365-8989 to set up a class.
Parks
and Recreation:
The Community Center is an approved US
Passport Acceptance Facility where you can apply for a new passport or
passport card, or renew an existing passport, by appointment
only. Call (305) 365-8953 for an appointment.
More passport information
is available at the Village website.
Police:
Summer vacation means many kids biking throughout the Village. Did
you know that State law requires all children under 16 years old to
wear a helmet, even if they are passengers in a bike child carrier?
Also, as of July 1, seat belt use will be mandatory for adults as well
as children. Learn more about this law and other safety tips here.
Public
Works:
Downpours associated with rainy season can carry debris to storm water
drains. Clogged drains reduce the intake of water. If you notice debris
in the drain near your home, please rake up the material and dispose of
it. This action will reduce the chance of local flooding. The Village
checks all storm drains after severe weather events.
