Property Owner/Occupant Responsibility - Snow & Ice Removal
Property owners, occupants, or their agents are responsible for keeping sidewalks adjacent to their property clear and safe. Snow must be removed within 12 hours after snowfall ends during daylight hours, or by 6:00 p.m. the following day if snowfall ends overnight. Ice must be removed as soon as possible. If immediate removal is not possible, sand or other approved materials must be applied immediately to prevent slippery conditions, and the ice must be removed as soon as conditions allow.
Trash/Recycling pickup is NOT affected.
There was an error in the file transfer with our water billing system, resulting in numerous accounts having to be hand-keyed into the system, which may have resulted in a typo. If you believe there is an error with your recent utility bill, please contact City Hall.
The LVPD office will reopen on Monday (1/12). The remainder of City Hall is open during this work.
If you need to speak with an officer at City Hall during this time, please call the non-emergency number at 248-354-1010. Dispatch will still have an officer respond to you in the lobby. Thank you for your patience while we get this completed.
Stay safe!

December Utility Bills
Due to the holiday season, utility bill processing is behind schedule, and bills will get to your mailbox as soon as possible.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION
Christmas trees placed at the curb will be chipped by the City's contractor on the normal collection day (Monday). The last day for this service, for the season, is Monday, January 12.
All items (ornaments, tinsel, etc.) must be removed from the tree, or it will not be collected.
12/29 - Trash/Recycling Collection
Due to the high winds, if you placed your bins at the curb last night, please look at them this morning to ensure they are still standing and items have not blown away. This will greatly help Tringali complete the route.
The 2026 Lathrup Village Master Plan Update is underway. You can follow along the process and share your thoughts through our dedicated website using the "Master Plan Update" button on the homepage of the City website.
