From the Village of Elmwood - our recent test results show a slightly higher than normal nitrate level. Infants, pregnant women, or nursing mothers should refrain from drinking the tap water. Consult your physician with questions. Water has been purchased from the Elmwood Convenience Store for pick up there. If you purchase water, please submit your receipt to the office for reimbursement. We hope to have this issue resolved by early next week and will update again as soon as possible.
