We are pleased to announce that water and sanitary sewer rates will remain unchanged for residents of the Village of Pigeon in 2025. This decision was unanimously approved by the Village Council at their February meeting.

This winter has brought more snow and colder temperatures, with our DPW crew working hard to keep up. We appreciate residents parking off streets overnight to assist with snow removal. At our February meeting, the Village Council voted to keep water and sewer rates unchanged for 2025. We’re also making progress on the water discoloration issue, with EGLE reviewing potential solutions. Click to read more.
