In a decisive move during the April 3 Village of Westmont Board Meeting, trustees approved a series of involuntary annexations aimed at expanding the village's boundaries and improving water service for residents. The board unanimously voted to annex properties located at 5908 Western Avenue and 415 East 50 Ninth Street, among others, marking a significant step in the village's growth strategy.

Trustee Neira emphasized the importance of these annexations, stating they would allow the village to provide essential services, particularly water, to areas that have been historically underserved. The discussion highlighted the complexities surrounding water service agreements, with some properties having been on village water for years despite not being officially incorporated.

A key point of contention was the potential financial implications of a recapture agreement related to a water main extension. However, it was clarified that the McNaughton Corporation, responsible for the extension, is no longer in business, which means the village is not obligated to collect recapture fees.

In a related decision, the board extended the timeline for property owners to connect to village water from five to ten years. This amendment aims to alleviate financial burdens on residents, allowing them more time to comply with connection requirements without immediate pressure.
