Street Light Maintenance:
Committee reviewed Commonwealth Edison's performance on street light maintenance in the Village.
Per the Committee the situation is improving. In December, 1995 94 lights were not operational. The
current outage list includes 47 locations.
Commonwealth Edison has not been satisfied with their performance. They explained they had fallen
behind because of the very hot weather last summer. Crews were reassigned to repair and maintain
electric service to homes and businesses at the expense of street light maintenance. Also, most electric
cable is underground in Elk Grove Village and this is causing problems. The aggressive soils in the
Village are causing premature cable failures. Over$200,000 has been spent this year by Commonwealth
Edison to replace defective underground street light cable which is being installed in plastic duct for
longer service life.
Committee requested continued effort by Commonwealth Edison to reduce the number and length of
outages. Also,more communication from Commonwealth Edison about status of repairs was requested.
Commonwealth Edison agreed to accommodate the requests of the Village.
Ridge Avenue Water lain Replacement:
Committee discussed May 14, 1996 memo from Director of Public Works regarding Ridge Avenue Water
Main Project. Committee unanimously recommends that the middle section of the water main between
Elk Grove Boulevard and Clearmont be replaced with the other sections for the reasons stated in the
Director's memo. It was noted that the construction contract and the 1997 Water& Sewer Budget will
need to be increased by approximately $56,600.
Committee suggested reviewing Infrastructure Replacement Projects on a case by case basis rather than
establishing a general policy that could fit all situations.
