Public works: smoke testing, Green Streets maintenance and planter plantings reported
Summary
Superintendent Don Leicht reported completed plantings, installation of commemorative banners, upcoming harmless smoke testing of residential sewer connections for MWRD reverse-discovery, and summer Green Streets Phase I/II road maintenance; trustees emphasized resident communication needs.
Kenilworth’s Superintendent of Public Works, Donald Leicht, reported completed plantings in village planters and around the water tower and said newly donated commemorative banners were installed for Memorial Day observance.
Mr. Leicht announced upcoming smoke testing of residential sewer connections as part of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District’s reverse discovery protocol and outlined summer Green Streets Phase I and II maintenance projects. Trustees and staff discussed the importance of notifying residents in advance about the harmless smoke test and reiterated that permeable pavers installed previously have been effective but require routine maintenance.
Questions from trustees focused on long-term maintenance strategies and storm-damage response contracts; Mr. Leicht said a newly appointed company would be used for storm-damage response and described routine maintenance needs for the permeable pavers.
