Mosquito Control Efforts Being Implemented in Oreana
As a result of the extremely wet conditions in and around the Village so far this summer, and in response to citizen feedback, the Village is implementing Mosquito control efforts, beginning this week. Residents should expect to see a truck-mounted fogger throughout town. The fogging will take likely place between the hours of 8:00pm and Mid-night. Please contact the Village Office at 468-2476 with any questions or concerns.
Road Work Coming Soon to Oreana
The Village of Oreana is in the process of scheduling our Oil-and Chip work for this season. We do not have exact dates yet, but the work will likely take place in the next month or so.
Final dates will be posted to this website and on Facebook once they are finalized.
This year, the following streets will be oiled and chipped: South View St, West Plains Dr, Rayjon Dr, View Dr, View Circle, Park Ct, Westmoor Ct, and Westmoor Dr.

Update of Village Police Services
Residents will soon notice that the Village of Oreana Police Department has undergone some changes. First, our vehicle has been re-lettered for better identification as the “Oreana Police” Vehicle. In addition, Oreana will now directly employ part-time officers to patrol the Village. Officers will still be dispatched the same way — continue to call 9-1-1 for emergencies, and 424-1311 for non-emergency issues.
At tonight’s Village Board Meeting, Mayor Keathley appointed two new police officers to serve the Village. Officer Mark Rade and Office Keith Mullins have been sworn in and will start their service immediately. The appointments were unanimously approved by the Village Board.
Officer Mark Rade retired from the Macon County Sheriff’s Office earlier this year. Officer Rade has decades of experience in law enforcement and is very familiar with Oreana as he previously served Oreana as a Deputy Sheriff.
Officer Keith Mullins retired from the Decatur Police Department last year and also has extensive experience in law enforcement. During his tenure with the Decatur Police, Officer Mullins serves as a field training officer, and Master Firearms Instructor. Officer Mullins currently lives in Oreana.
I am excited to welcome these Officers to Oreana and look forward to their service.
Mayor Aaron Keathley
