Water Tower Painting The Village Board passed resolutions approving contracts to repaint and refurbish the water tower at Streamwood High School. The work will be conducted this spring, before outside temperatures get too high. The Village is working with the school to ensure no conflicts with traffic. The tower will be covered during the renovations to avoid paint splatter. 2014 Road Program Its a sure sign of spring! The Village Board approved a resolution allocating over $1.1 million in Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for use in our annual Street Improvement Program. Since 1989, the Village has dedicated its MFT funds to maintaining our infrastructure. The Village anticipates reconstructing, resurfacing, and repairing nearly 5.5 miles of streets throughout the community in 2014.

Melting snow and heavy spring rains can cause serious problems. When water cant be absorbed by open areas, because of streets, sidewalks and buildings, it is directed into storm drains. This prevents water pooling in the streets and flooding area homes. Please help keep our storm drains clear of snow, ice, and debris.

Coyotes in the Suburbs

Coyote sightings continue to rise. Spring is when they are most active. These nocturnal animals want to avoid humans, but some contact is unavoidable. Be careful driving at night. Keep an eye on small pets. Never feed these or other wild animals. Placing food out on the ground attracts bunnies and birds, as well as mice, squirrels, and raccoons. These smaller animals attract hawks, coyotes, and other dangerous predators.

Beware of Ruse Entry Burglary

Criminals are working in the suburbs using Ruse Entry Burglary. A pair of criminals will have a work-style van. One person, wearing worker clothing, will exit the vehicle and approach a home. He will state that he is with the utility company or the Village and he must get into the house to inspect the water pipes, gas lines or electrical work. Once in, his accomplice is free to ransack the house, while he keeps the homeowner busy. Never let anyone in your house without identification. If they cannot provide identification, or if you want to simply be cautious, call 911. A Streamwood Police Officer will respond to confirm whether they are legitimate. Do not allow them in your house until you are completely sure they are there for a legitimate reason and possess the proper credentials. Make sure this does not happen to you or those you know. Inform family and neighbors about this scam.

Frequently Asked Questions
