Do I live in the Village or Town of Palmyra?  If your address starts with a number, you are a Village Resident.  If your address starts with a letter such as W, S, E, or N, then you are a Town Resident.  The Village is the "city" and the Town in the outlaying area.  To reach the Town Clerk, Kathy Oleson, please call 262-495-2788.

My Water Bill went way up, why?  You may have a leak, a leak that you aren't aware of.  Go to our Public Works tab and it will explain how you can check for a leak yourself.  Even the smallest drip can add up to thousands of gals. of water over 3 months!

Who do I call about my utilities when I'm moving?  For local gas & electric you contact WE Energies, local cable is Charter Communications, and local water & sewer department is the Village Hall at 262-495-8316.  You have to let us know when you're moving so we can take your name off of the bill and put it in the new owners name.  All of these numbers can be found on the Community Resources Tab of our website.
