Village of Morton Essential Services

During this time of “isolate in place” the Village will be doing its part to keep as many employees as possible home.  To do this, we will be curbing our non-essential services.  However, we will continue to provide police, fire, and paramedic services, along with natural gas distribution, water treatment and distribution, and waste water treatment.

Our Village Hall and Fire Department buildings will remain closed to the public. Our Police Station lobby will remain open for telephone access to the Tazewell County Telecommunicators, who can notify the police of your presence in necessary circumstances.  We will have administrative staff available by phone at 309-266-5361, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.  Our staff will be limited, call wait times may be longer and we ask you to please be patient.  You may be asked to leave a message, to which we will respond as soon as possible.  Calls made outside of office hours to this number will be answered by an off-site answering service, and that service will direct your call to the appropriate on-call staff, if needed, or take a message and relay that to the staff for response the following business day.

We will continue to empty the drop-off boxes at Village Hall, so if you have something you want to submit please feel free to utilize this option.

As always, emergency services are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, by calling 911.

We hope to return to normal operations at the end of the Governor’s mandate; stay safe!
