PRESIDENTS’ DAY
The Village Hall office will be closed on Monday February 17th in observance of Presidents’ Day. The staff will be available for emergency services only.
BARTON DAM Barton Dam embankment construction work will begin in early March 2025. The dam is adjacent to Barton Pond, Barton Nature Area, Bird Hills Nature Area and trails to and along the Huron River and, due to construction, public access within certain areas will be restricted.
BHV BOAT STICKERS It’s that time of year almost for people to think about their boats. Most of the village boats at the Barton boat club have Barton Hills Village stickers on them. If your boat does not, please contact Bob Frank at 248-459-0422 to get a sticker. Remember all boats require a BHV sticker.
WATER BILLS The 2024 water bills are all currently past due. If still unpaid please make payment as soon as possible.
SNOW PLOWING BHV is contracted by the BHMC to plow the snow from residents’ driveways under the following circumstances:
- The snow event is over; and,
- Roads within Village limits have been cleared and made safe for vehicles; and,
- At least 3” or more of snow covering covers the majority of the resident’s driveway.
Once the roads are cleared and safe for vehicle use, Village staff will work as quickly as is safely possible to plow residents’ driveways. We ask for your understanding and patience during these times. The staff works very hard on snow removal, frequently without sleep for long stretches of time, and we appreciate residents’ courtesy and support.
If your driveway is impeded (downed trees, electrical wires, vehicles in the way, etc.), your driveway will not be plowed. Once you’ve corrected the impediment, the Village crew will attempt to plow your drive on the next available workday.
If you find that the driveway plowing service is not aligned with your needs, we encourage you to hire a company that can better suit your situation.
