Scheduled Update Requires Closing of Cashiering at City Hall & Utility Portal Systems
The City of Mequon is updating its Enterprise Resource Planning System, MUNIS, starting at 12:00 P.M. on Friday, August 10 and continuing into the weekend.

Frank L. Weyenberg Library to Replace Sewer Lateral Next Week
Weyenberg Library has contracted with Grunau Company, Inc., of Oak Creek, to replace the sewer lateral from the building to the sewer main that runs under Cedarburg Road. The project will begin sometime between August 15 and 20, and take approximately five days. The Library will be open as usual during installation. Traffic along Cedarburg Road will not be affected. This project was necessitated because of the degradation of the current clay pipes. Please contact the Frank L Weyenberg Library at 262-242-2593 if you have any questions.
