The Village Manager reported on the following items:
Installation of the Elk Grove Village water transmis-

Lake Michigan water pipe line will pass through the
Natural Gas Pipe Line Company of America's right-of-
way, beginning at Elmhurst Road and extending through
the Village and going westward to Hanover Park and
Streamwood. Contracts for that construction work were
let by the Water Agency and the contractors are now
completing the filing of bonds, insurance and schedules
for construction. Property owners have been notified
and have been asked to return a communication to the
Water Agency indicating they understand what the project
is and have been given names of parties to contact in
the event of any problems. The entire right-of-way
through the Village has been videotaped so there
is a visible point of reference for work that may
come into contingent at some point along the way.
