USPS Postmark Changes – Paying Property Taxes by Mail: ** PROPERTY TAXPAYERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE ** UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) POLICY CHANGE REGARDING POSTMARKS If you pay your property taxes by mail, please be aware of a recent U.S. Postal Service policy change that may affect when envelopes are postmarked. In August of this year, the US Post Office announced a new rule that most letters will no longer be postmarked on the day the letter is received by a post office but instead postmarked when the letter is processed at a regional mail processing facility, which can be 1–2 days later (longer on weekends or holidays). If you’re mailing your tax payment: Mail early. Sending payments well in advance of the deadline remains the most reliable method. *On-Line – We now accept ACH & credit card payments* https://ascent.co.walworth.wi.us/LandRecords  Utilize the drop box located on the side of the Town Hall Tax payments that are received late will be considered delinquent if postmarked after the due date.

Wild celery

The Delavan Lake Sanitary District has extended pier pick ups this season and will be extending the actual harvest season due to excessive plant growth this season. The wild celery has begun propagating for the year and is forming large mats on the lake, this is the plants natural cycle and is easily seen by the root system visible within these floating mats, the root system appears as white nodes that can protrude above the water line. We are speculating that the excessive growth this year may be due to heavy rainfall events this spring that contributed to larger runoff events than we’ve seen the last few years. We are currently on pace to have a record harvest this season with a greater volume of aquatic plants taken out of the lake since the inception of the harvesting program. We are working diligently to address the ever changing conditions that are associated with Lake Delavan.
