🐾 URGENT: 3 Gentle Boys at Vandalia Pound Need Their FURever Homes! 🐾

Hey Vandalia friends — we need your help! 💔

There are three sweet male dogs currently waiting at the Vandalia Pound, each with a heart full of love and a tail that’s just aching to wag for someone special. These boys have been through enough, and now they’re just hoping for a second chance at life — a warm bed, a kind voice, and a family to call their own.

✨ Whether you're looking for a loyal hiking buddy, a couch snuggler, or a playful companion for your kids — one of these guys could be your perfect match.

📍 Location: Vandalia Pound 📅 Available Now 💙 All three are male, friendly, and ready to love YOU unconditionally.

Please share this post far and wide. The more eyes we get on these pups, the better their chances of finding a loving home. If you or someone you know is interested in adopting, reach out to the Vandalia Pound ASAP.

Let’s make sure these boys get the happy ending they deserve. 🐶💕

🚨 Water Alert – W Park St. Leak 🚨

Attention Vandalia residents: A significant water leak has been reported on W Park Street. As crews work to repair the issue, please be aware that water pressure is currently low on the south side of town.

💧 The water tower is not filled at this time, which is contributing to the reduced pressure. City maintenance teams are on-site and working swiftly to resolve the situation.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. Updates will be posted as soon as more information becomes available.

******IMPORTANT NOTICE****** Today, there have been Stop Signs placed at the Highland and Union Street intersection. This is now a FOUR WAY intersection. Please be aware of this change.

This male German shepherd was picked up at N Walnut. There is an orange collar around his neck. If he is yours or you know the owner please contact City Hall at 573-594-6186.

There will be a power outage for a couple of hours in the area of East Walsh, S Main, S Monroe, & E Home.

📣 Important Billing Update from the City of Vandalia 📣

🚨 Important Billing Update for City of Vandalia Residents 🚨

Heads up! Our current billing software will be down next week from Wednesday, August 27th through Friday, August 29th as we prepare to go LIVE with our new system, Edmunds! 🎉

This downtime is necessary for Edmunds to pull the final information needed to complete the transition. During this time, we’ll be operating the old-fashioned way — pen and paper — so we appreciate your patience and understanding!

📌 A few key things to note:

This will be our last month using Invoice Cloud.
If you pay your bill online, don’t worry — a new online payment option will be available.
With the new system, you’ll also be able to pay by credit card at City Hall!
We’re hopeful these changes will improve your experience, but please bear with us as we learn the ropes. More details will be shared in the coming week!
