Residents tell board sewer infiltration ongoing; questions raised about electric supplier rates
Summary
During public comment, Martin Bruyns reported infiltration into sewer lines and said the village is treating more water than it pumps; Joyce Davis and others raised concerns about higher Ameren bills and Homefield's seasonal rates.
During the public-comment period, Martin Bruyns told the board he is "continuing to work with Farrar on infiltration into the sewer lines" and that "The Village is currently treating more water than we are pumping." Trustees heard the report and noted the issue is under investigation.
Joyce Davis and other residents complained about rising Ameren electric bills and asked about switching to Homefield as an electric supplier. Trustee Sam Jones explained Homefield's pricing pattern, saying Homefield's rate is higher in winter and lower in summer compared with Ameren; residents seeking to opt out were given instructions to contact Homefield directly.
