Water meter replacement to get started
Beginning next month, the Village of Glenview will start the
process of replacing or retrofitting all 16,000 residential and
commercial water meters within Glenview with new automated meters. Besides replacing aging units, the new meters
will use new technology to identify water
usage regularly and accurately. The new
meters will allow the Village to provide
better customer service and more details
on water usage.
The new meters will automatically
transmit readings wirelessly, eliminating the need to manually read each
meter. This way, the Village can be more
efficient and reduce water system costs by
preventing manual meter errors and eliminating the timeconsuming manual meter reading process.
Sometime over the next 14 months – through summer 2016
– each Glenview water customer will be contacted to set up
Why is Glenview replacing water meters?
Water meters across the
Village are approaching or beyond the
manufacturer’s recommended life span
of 20 years. As the
current mechanical water meters
age, they may slow
down and their accuracy in registering water consumption
decreases. The new water meters will
also achieve technological and customer
service benefits.
FAQs
Where is my water meter?
Most water meters are located inside the
house or business, and might be in a
an appointment to receive a new water meter.
The Village has awarded a contract to Siemens Industries to
perform this meter replacement. Siemens will need access
to each home and business in Glenview to
replace the meter. Siemens will work with
each household to arrange a convenient
appointment to complete this task.
Homeowners are asked to give installers
adequate clearance around the current
water meter, which might be located in
a basement, crawl space or utility closet.
There is no charge for participating in
this mandatory program. Under normal
circumstances, the replacement will take about 30 minutes,
during which time the water will be shut off.

basement, crawl space or utility closet.
Am I required to participate?
Yes, participation in this program is
mandatory. All meters in the Village,
both at homes and businesses, will be
replaced over the course of 14 months.
Your cooperation in scheduling an appointment after you receive a notification letter is appreciated.
How will I be contacted?
When the installers are in your area, you
will receive a letter in the mail from the
Village and Siemens to make an appointment, followed by reminder postcards, if necessary, and a door hangar if
an appointment has not been scheduled.

How does the system work?
The water usage data from each meter
will be transmitted wirelessly by a radio
signal to the Village.
Will anything be on the outside
of my building?
Yes. There will be a box (also called
a transmitter) on the outside of your
home. It will be located in or around
the same area that your current water
meter remote is located. The installer
will attempt to reuse the hardware that
is currently on your home or business.

Energy-saving ideas
Here are just a few simple things you can do to improve the
energy efficiency and comfort of your home as temperatures
warm, according to the U.S. Department of Energy:
z Service your air conditioner. Easy maintenance such
as routinely replacing or cleaning air filters can lower your
cooling system’s energy consumption by up to 15 percent.
z Open windows. Opening windows creates a cross-wise
breeze, which allows you to naturally cool your home without switching on air conditioners.
z Use ceiling fans. Cooling your home with ceiling fans
will allow you to raise your thermostat four degrees.
z Cook outside. Keep the heat out of your home by using
an outdoor grill instead of indoor ovens.
z Install window treatments. Energy-efficient window
treatments of coverings, such as blinds, shades and films,
can slash heat gain when temperatures rise.
z Caulk air leaks. Using low-cost caulk to seal cracks and
openings in your home keeps warm air out.
z Bring in sunlight. During daylight hours, switch off
artificial lights and use windows and skylights to brighten
your home.
z Set the thermostat. On warm days, setting a programmable thermostat to a higher setting when you are not at
home can help reduce your energy costs by approximately
10 percent.
z Seal ducts. Air loss through ducts can lead to high electricity costs, accounting for nearly 30 percent of a cooling
system’s energy consumption.
z Switch on bathroom fans. Bathroom fans suck out heat
and humidity from your home, improving comfort.
Recycle latex paint
Latex paint is not a hazardous material, and can be discarded
in the trash after it’s been hardened. In a protected and wellvented area, away from children and pets, remove the lid and
allow paint to naturally dry out over a period of time. This
method works best if the can is less than one-quarter full. For
fuller cans, mix shredded newspaper, kitty litter or a hardware
store-bought waste paint hardener to the paint can and allow
it to absorb and dry out over a period of time.
If you would rather recycle the paint, some
hardware stores in the area will accept it
for a small fee, including Glenview Ace Hardware, 1560
Waukegan Road, Glenview;
Millen Do It Best, 1219
Wilmette Avenue, Wilmette;
and Skokie Ace Hardware,
5035 Oakton St., Skokie.

This month in history
60 years ago – May 2, 1955
Calling Glenview Road a hazard to traffic badly in need
of repairs, the Village Board of Trustees petitioned the
state of Illinois, which then had authority for the roadway, to resurface it.
55 years ago – May 16, 1960
The Village Board of Trustees amended the Municipal
Code to restrict the unauthorized opening of any sewer or
manhole.
30 years ago – May 6, 1985
The Village Board of Trustees imposed a hotel and motel
tax of 5 percent on room rentals.
25 years ago – May 1, 1990
The 911 emergency telephone system was established in
Glenview, with a $1 per month surcharge set per network
connection. The action implemented the referendum
passed in November 1989.

imately five times a day. Each transmission lasts
no longer than 15 seconds.
From the Village
President
Is this new system safe?
Yes, the power and duration of the radio signal is
too low to pose a health risk. The products that
make up the system are evaluated for safety and
are below levels specified by the Federal Communications Commission.
You know the old saying about there being two
seasons in the Midwest: winter and road construction. Because the window of time to get streets and
roadways reconstructed or repaired is small, the dreaded orange cones go up
and lanes are blocked off as soon as weather permits.
Is my meter data secure?
Yes, only meter consumption readings and meter
identification numbers are transmitted. Personal
customer information is not transmitted.
We’re already well into road construction season in and around Glenview. I
want to extend my thanks for your patience now and over the next several
months – to motorists for being respectful of each other and vigilant about
changing traffic patterns and to residents whose neighborhoods experience
cut-through traffic and noise.
Does the meter interfere with other
electronics?
No, the technology operates as a very lowpowered signal that is regulated by the FCC to
eliminate interference. It will not interfere with
the operation of other electronic services such
as telephone, television, garage door openers,
pacemakers or baby monitors.
Does the transmitter run on my home
electricity?
No, the transmitters run on batteries with a 20year life span.
Do I have to be at my home or business
during the appointment?
Yes, because meters are located inside buildings,
a person 18 years of age or older must be present
throughout the entire appointment.
Who will be replacing my meter?
The Village has contracted with Siemens Industries. Installers will have a marked vehicle, a
Village identification badge and a letter from the
Village. They will not ask for any personal information or for you to pay any money. If you have
concerns whether someone is acting in an official
capacity, please dial 911.
Will I have to sign anything?
The installer will have a form to write down the
new meter’s serial number and final read of the
old meter. You will be asked to sign it before the
installer leaves.
Will I ever receive a bill with an estimated reading again?
The new system will virtually eliminate estimated
readings.

website at glenview.il.us/Page/watermeterreplacement.aspx.
Here’s a summary of the major road projects that are going on:
z The east leg of the intersection of Harms Road and Glenview Road is
closed to traffic until early June. Harms Road north of Glenview to Wilmette Avenue is closed in both directions until mid-September. The closures
are necessary to facilitate the East of Harms Regional Stormwater project,
which will help ease flooding for 1,150 homes in the neighborhood.
z The Illinois Department of Transportation is resurfacing Milwaukee
Avenue from Glenview Road south to south of Touhy Avenue, with mainly
daytime closures. IDOT is also resurfacing Golf Road from west of Potter
Road to Lincoln Avenue, and will have one lane closed in both directions
for the three-mile stretch. Both these resurfacing projects are expected to be
completed by the end of August.
z Additionally, IDOT plans to repair bridge joints on the Union Pacific
Railroad overpass on Milwaukee Avenue north of Glenview Road. Motorists should expect daytime lane closures until the project is completed in
August.
z IDOT is also working to complete the widening of Willow Road from
Waukegan Road to the Edens Expressway, a massive project that began in
2013. Estimated completion is the end of this summer.
A number of websites and blogs have been established to provide updated
information on the progress of these projects:
z A list of Village of Glenview road projects is available at glenview.il.us/
Pages/ConstructionProjects.aspx. Blogs for each project can be accessed
there as well, including IDOT’s Willow Road widening project.
z Construction news releases from the Illinois Department of Transportation can be found online at idot.illinois.gov/about-idot/stay-connected/
news-releases/Construction/releases.
z The Transportation Management Association of Lake Cook provides
overviews of projects being done by IDOT, Cook County Department of
Transportation and Highways, Lake County Division of Transportation and
Illinois Tollway on its website -- tmalakecook.org/tma-highway-construction-meeting.
z If you’re planning to travel outside the Chicago area, another resource is
travelmidwest.com, which displays a map that allows scrolling and zooming
to particular areas of interest.
The investment in our infrastructure requires a great deal of coordination,
effort and time to complete. While it may cause some inconvenience now, the
work will result in storm sewers large enough to help prevent flooding and
miles of improved roadways.

Warmer weather brings more residents outside, so it becomes everyone’s duty to keep
neighborhoods safe, clean and orderly:
z Properly trim back any excessive landscape growth abutting public sidewalks, so
that sidewalks aren’t blocked by bushes, shrubs and trees. Pedestrians – especially
children – should not have to walk in the street.
z Regularly mow and maintain your lawn and public parkways. Weeds and grass
cannot grow taller than eight inches.
z When driving, look out for pedestrians. Slow down and be prepared to stop
when turning or entering a crosswalk. Use added caution to look out for children.
z Be aware that the speed limit on residential streets in Glenview is 20 mph. The
greater the speed, the longer it takes to stop a vehicle by braking, which places
pedestrians at greater risk.

Routing invasive plants starts with vigilance
Our green spaces and backyards are being invaded. The intruders are interloping plant species from other lands that
can cause environmental damage.
During the last several decades, new
plants have appeared which have quickly
become pests. They aggressively crowd
out many native wildflowers and gain
an ecological edge that impacts natural
landscapes, including woodlands, savannas, prairies and wetlands.
Once invasive plants become established, they can grow and spread rapidly,
often because they have no natural
predators in their new environment.
The Village of Glenview’s Natural
Resources Commission has launched
a campaign to try to get these invasive
species under control. Landowners
and residents can assist in the battle by
learning to recognize non-native plants,
eliminate them from the outset and not
plant them or encourage their growth.
Here are just a few of the invasive plants
that can be easily found in the Glenview
area:
Purple loosestrife
– Long a prized perennial because of its
pinkish-purple flowers,
purple loosestrife
grows in dense stands
and seeds are easily
spread. Because it resprouts from root fragments, it is aggressive and can’t be easily
removed by hand. Purple loosestrife
overtakes wetlands and stream beds.
Buckthorn –
This European
species forms
thickets which
are almost impenetrable. It
can be recognized by its fine-toothed, opposite leaves
and dark, berry-like fruits.
Canada thistle – A serious invader
in fields and pastures, Canada thistle
is difficult to eradicate. A small patch
6
can soon turn into
a large colony if left
unchecked. This
robust plant grows
to 5-feet-tall and the
stem and leaves are
covered with prickly
spines.
Phragmites – Also
known as a common
reed, this wetland grass
can grow to 15 feet
in height and create tall, dense stands
that crowd out native
plants.
Teasel – This plant
grows a basal rosette,
then sends up a tall
flowering stalk. A
single teasel plant can
produce over 2,000
seeds that can remain
viable for at least two
years. The tap root
may be more than 2 feet in length.
Garlic mustard –
This noxious plant
spreads through
woodlands and
primarily shaded
urban areas by
seeds. Small white
four-petaled flowers
bloom in spring,
and when a leaf is crushed or the stem
of the plant is broken, a strong onionlike smell is evident. Garlic mustard
takes over parks, yards, nature preserves
and other natural habitats.

and the Glenview Park District schedule

Electric aggregation price set for a fourth year
Electrical aggregation, permitted by state statute, enables municipalities to seek alternate suppliers of electricity in an effort
to lower electric supply rates for residents. For a fourth year,
the Village of Glenview has entered into a contract with MC
Squared Energy Services for an electric supply rate of 6.880
cents per kilowatt-hour, in effect from June 2015 through
May 2016.
While this is a rate increase from the current third-year price
of 6.719 cents per kilowatt-hour, the new price is projected to
continue to provide savings compared with ComEd’s rates of
about 5 percent.
Residents should have received a letter from the Village of
Glenview and MC Squared that clearly defines the rate for the
coming 12-month period. Residents will not be contacted by
MC Squared via phone or door-to-door sales as part of this
process.
The Village Board of Trustees in November 2012 voted to
join the LakeShore Power Alliance consortium with the village of Wilmette, Northfield and Kenilworth for the electric
aggregation program. Enrollment was automatic if you were a
resident of Glenview in December 2012.
The delivery of electricity is still provided by ComEd. Your
ComEd bill will state MC Squared Services as the supplier.
