Special Areas Fire Restriction

Effective Thursday, June 8th the Special Areas Board is imposing a fire restriction to extend throughout all Special Areas.  The Village of Empress will remain at Fire Advisory level.  For details, see our Fire page.

Weeds

The Village politely requests that all property owners or tenants/occupants take care of the weeds in or on their yards and help prevent the spread of all weeds onto your own or neighboring properties. This is a problem during this time of the year and with additional rainfall it can make the problem even bigger. The Village thanks everyone for their efforts and if there are any questions, please feel free to contact the office. Thank you in advance.
