Stratton

• Stratton, population about 320 served by its water system, became internationally known through a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court free-speech case over its door-to-door solicitation ordinance.
• The village was long overshadowed by the adjacent 2.23-gigawatt W.H. Sammis coal plant, which began operating in 1960 and shut down in 2023.
• The village's water treatment plant uses ion exchange, meaning it softens the water in addition to disinfecting it and controlling corrosion with an orthophosphate inhibitor.
