OFFICE OF THE VILLAGE MANAGER LETTER TO COUNCIL
NO. 049-2021
To:
From: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Manage
Date: April 2, 2021
Subject: Recent Village Water Service Disru tions
Mayor Gabriel Groisman and Members of the Village Council
The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to transmit information to you pertaining to a
water service disruption which occurred yesterday afternoon at approximately at 3:30 PM.
On the afternoon of Thursday, April 1, 2021, a contractor working on behalf of the Village
caused damage to a 16 -inch diameter water transmission main in the north area of the
Gated Residential Community adjacent to Park Drive. This damage caused a disruption of
water pressure and service to a portion of the Village, specifically along Collins Avenue.
Immediately upon notification, Parks & Public Spaces personnel were dispatched to isolate
the water break and re-establish water services to the affected residents. Concurrently, a
Village contractor was contacted to respond and complete the repairs to the damaged 16 -
inch water transmission main.
Water service was restored to all residents at approximately 8:00 PM last evening.
Additionally, repairs to the water transmission main were also completed at approximately
11:30 PM. Crews returned this morning to remove the equipment used during the repair
and clean the site.
It should be noted that there was no "Boil Water" order required in this instance.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
