PUBLIC NOTICE

You may soon notice some construction activity around town! We are making improvements to the Oreana water system. The planned improvements include the replacement of approximately 4,200 lineal feet of watermains at various locations throughout the Village.  Funding for this project is provided by a low-interest loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s Public Water Supply Loan Program (PWSLP).

Village of Oreana

In the State of Illinois, the responsibility to enact pool safety regulations falls under the jurisdiction of the local municipality. As such, the Village of Oreana Board of Trustees has approved (6-0) an ordinance requiring all pools within the Village of Oreana to be enclosed with a fence. The pool structure can serve as the enclosure on above ground pools at least 4 feet tall, provided the ladder or steps is enclosed with a minimum height of 4 feet.

This requirement is in effect for new construction, and existing pools.  Property owners must be in compliance with this requirement  no later than June 17th, 2026.
