Brayton Blvd. is closed due to unexpected storm sewer repairs. The Village is working to address the problem as quickly as possible, but the street will remain closed for the foreseeable future. The boat launch on Sleepy Hollow Rd. is available to access Lazy lake. 

The Columbus/Fall River Food Pantry donation barrel at Columbus Pick 'n Save has a new look! It may move around in the store, so please look for it when donating. We are still in need of canned soup, canned fruit, boxed mac & cheese, toilet paper, baked beans, pancake mix, cake mix, and frosting. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated and can be deposited at F&M Bank. Thank you again for keeping us alive and able to serve!

The Fall River Sewer Utility has experienced an increase in wastewater pumping station malfunctions due to “disposable” cleaning items and wipes entering the wastewater stream. Many cleaning products labeled “disposable” or even “flushable” can cause problems for homeowners and the Village. Disinfecting wipes, Swiffer mop refills, baby wipes, and other products made from similar materials should be disposed of in the trash- never flushed down a toilet. These items do not dissolve or break down after being flushed and can clog household sewer pipes, resulting in an expensive and messy repair and clean-up for a property owner. If these items find their way into the Village’s sewer system, they can clog pipes and pumps in the Village’s sewer pumping stations. This leads to expensive repairs and potential interruptions in sewer service.

Please help ensure the reliable and efficient operation of the Village’s wastewater system by disposing of these products properly, in the trash!
