In a recent meeting of the Menomonee Falls Village Board, community leaders expressed gratitude for the swift response of first responders during recent flooding, highlighting the heroic efforts of local police, fire, and public works teams. The meeting, held on September 15, 2025, focused on the aftermath of the floods that had significantly impacted the village, with officials acknowledging the challenges faced by both residents and village employees.

Assistant Chief Nyhan reported that debris collection from the flood is now complete, a process that took three weeks and involved extensive efforts from the Department of Public Works (DPW). The village is now transitioning to brush collection, specifically targeting debris caused by the flooding and severe winds. Residents were reminded not to place out brush that does not meet these criteria, as this is not part of the regular spring pickup.

The board also discussed the importance of communication with residents, emphasizing the need for timely updates on recovery efforts. Social media has been a key tool in disseminating information, and officials encouraged continued engagement with the community to keep them informed.

In addition to recovery efforts, the board addressed several administrative matters, including the approval of a resolution related to the Waukesha County Library tax and various liquor license applications for local businesses. These decisions are part of ongoing efforts to support local commerce and ensure the community's needs are met.

As the village moves forward from the recent challenges, officials remain focused on restoring normalcy for residents and addressing the ongoing impacts of the flooding. The next steps include continuing brush collection and preparing for leaf collection, with hopes that the recent FEMA declaration will provide further relief to those affected.
