WELCOME TO BETHALTO
Perched upon the edge of the rolling Illinois prairie is the Village of Bethalto. Low green hills and picturesque farms frame this attractive community of nearly 10,000 residents, one of the three fastest-growing communities in Madison County. The peaceful setting and relaxed lifestyle make Bethalto an ideal place to raise a family. Yet, its close proximity to the rest of the St. Louis metropolitan area means that your family will never exhaust the tremendous variety of cultural opportunities and entertainment nearby.

The Village of Bethalto will be flushing its entire water system starting October 1st and continuing until completed. Customers can expect occasional stained water and periods of low pressure throughout this process. If you notice stained water, you should run ONLY cold water into your tub until the water runs clear. During periods of discoloration, you may want to refrain from laundering clothes. Any questions, please contact Water Plant Operator Jim Williams at (618) 570-5098. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this necessary task.
Fall Cleanup is the week of October 19-23 on your usual trash pickup day. Visit the Public Works/Trash tab for further details and restrictions.
