OFFICE OF THE VILLAGE MANAGER
LETTER TO COUNCIL
NO. 146-2018
To: Mayor Gabriel Groisman and Members of the Village uncil
From: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Manager
Date: September 7, 2018
Subject: Village Water Service Meter Replacement Project Initiation
The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to transmit to you information regarding the
planned Village water meter replacement project.
As you are aware, on July 17, 2018, the Village Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-1163
approving the purchase of four hundred seventy eight (478) replacement Village water
meters for those meters identified as having reached or surpassed their useful life. The
meter replacement will commence on September 17, 2018, with work continuing for
approximately four (4) months. The project will proceed using a zonal methodology within
six (6) identified sectors. The project will replace the water service meters initially in zone
one (1) and continue sequentially until project completion.
During this process, notice to residents will be provided via door hangers no earlier than
3 days before the water meter(s) will be replaced. A sample of the Door Hanger is attached
for your review. Additionally, the Village Website will provide this information as well as
the electronic WENS and E -Mail Blast systems.
Village staff with contracted labor wearing identifying shirts will perform the work. When
work begins at individual properties, staff will attempt to speak to homeowners and
property managers to answer any questions or address concerns. During the meter
replacement process, water service will be temporarily interrupted while the connections
are completed for one (1) hour or less.
This work will be scheduled Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 am to 4:00
pm in order to limit any inconvenience to our residents. A project map is attached to this
letter which provides the dates in which the work will take place in the corresponding
zones. The timelines provided are estimated and may vary based on site conflicts and
weather conditions (See Attached).
Parks and Public Spaces Operations Staff will be available to answer questions regarding

this project and they will work with Code Enforcement to address observed meter
