We love our community! If you have any creative ideas for our community, we would love to hear from you! Safety in our Community As we would all like to keep Mundy Mill safe. There are a few things that you can do as a part of the community. Street Light Outages If you see a street light out, it is a simple fix. Jackson EMC has a hotline to report street light outages. Simply get the number off of the pole that is out and call (770) 536-2415. They will take the information and then dispatch someone to come and fix the light. Known thefts or suspicious activity Call the Police! We do have police patrolling the community. However, the patrols will increase if there are reports of known thefts or suspicious activity.

SUCH A NICE WRITE-UP ABOUT ONE OF MUNDY MILL’S OWN… Mayor Rilling Directs Flags to Half-Staff in Honor of Retired Norwalk Firefighter Bruce Bento
Bruce was hired by the NFD in June 1988 and retired in 2013, after 25 years of serving the City of Norwalk. He was also a military veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1980 to 1984. “The City of Norwalk mourns the loss of retired Firefighter Bruce Bento, who proudly served the Norwalk Fire Department for 25 years,” said Mayor Rilling. “Bento was known among his peers for his selflessness and leadership skills and often mentored younger firefighters. He was devoted to protecting the residents of Norwalk and will be remembered for his bravery. My condolences go out to his loved ones, the Norwalk Fire Department, and the entire community who knew and loved him.” “Bruce was a good firefighter, who always worked hard and was dependable when called upon,” said Norwalk Fire Chief Gino Gatto. “He was well liked by his peers and loved being a firefighter. He loved to tell stories as he worked around the firehouse.”
