Mayor announces May 5 water shutoffs and urges residents to arrange payment plans

Mayor announced at the village board meeting that the village will begin water shutoffs on May 5 and said the notice has been posted to Dolton's official page. "May 5 ... put on Dolton's page that we will begin water shutoff," the mayor said, adding that the village has sent notices.

The mayor urged residents who are behind on bills to visit Village Hall to set up payment plans, saying, "please, please, please come into Village Hall, make your payment arrangements, and we will make sure that you are properly taken care of." He said the village wants to give people "ample time and notification" and emphasized, "We do not want to interrupt anybody's water."

The announcement did not include details on shutoff procedures, the threshold for disconnection, or a phone contact in the provided transcript; the mayor said staff would continue outreach and that details would be confirmed at upcoming meetings. Residents seeking assistance were directed to Village Hall to discuss payment arrangements.
