The home at 113 Kenilworth is being used as a storage unit for an elderly couple. They go to the
property during the day, but stay with family overnight. The natural gas supply has been cut off
from Nicor for some time, which has resulted in freezing pipes. The pipes have broken and are
leaking significant amounts of water, resulting in very high and expensive water usage, up to a
$5,000 water bill. There are additional maintenance issues such as holes in the soffit that allow
squirrels/raccoons to live in the attic, and a possible mouse and flea infestation.
The Village Housing Fund, administered by the Interfaith Council, will fund a repair by a local
plumbing company to fix the issue, however it will recur again next winter without heat. The
Village is looking to permanently shut off the water and file a lien over the unpaid water bill.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:31 p.m.
