Notice of the hearing was published on two dates: November 28 and December 5, 1963. 1,200 notices were mailed to all addresses available, which included notices based on water billings. In some cases those who are buying under contract for deed may not receive notices as these are sent to the vendor. However, no one at the meeting appeared stating they had not received a notice.

The Village was incorporated the latter part of 1958 and they got down to the problems of the sewer. There were petitions of 200 signatures requesting sewer service. Methods were discussed at that time and there was no outlet for sewage available. In February of 1959 a delegation appeared before the Council requesting consideration of either a sanitary sewer system or water system and, in that same month, the Council requested the Village Engineer to make a preliminary study for the Village. The District released Brooklyn Park from the confines of the District. On May 4, 1959 the Council authorized the Village Engineer to prepare a preliminary report giving facts and figures as a basis to go on. However, there was no outlet for sewage at that time. On July 28, 1959 Dr. Houle gave a report on the need for sanitary sewer and water in the Village and stated that there was a definite contamination problem. He warned that both systems should be looked into. Decision was made in favor of proceeding with the water installation. The Fall of 1959 was the beginning of the N.S.S.S.D. and five or six villages met to form a district for the purpose of finding an outlet for sewage disposal. There followed in 1959 discussions with Arden Pills
