On Wednesday morning, May 22, 2013 at 8:30 AM the Carol Stream Police Department and the Carol Stream Fire Protection District will stage a DUI fatal crash scene at Glenbard North High School.

The purpose of the presentation is to raise student awareness of alcohol usage. Traffic Officer Brian Cluever stated “Prom is a very important and memorable part of a student’s high school career; however, those positive memories can turn negative if improper decisions are made when it comes to alcohol consumption.  The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate how quickly a fun evening can go bad when an intoxicated motorist gets behind the wheel.”

The Village recently received a courtesy letter from American Water Resources, a New Jersey-based company that is presently conducting a direct mail solicitation effort to sell private water line insurance to Carol Stream residents and businesses.

Residents and business owners have recently received a letter from American Water Resources that explains this fact and then details the specifics of their water line repair coverage contract. The Village advises all home and business owners who receive this solicitation letter to read it thoroughly so they fully understand the service plan being offered.

Beginning in February, those residents and small businesses who enrolled in the Village’s electric aggregation program will begin receiving their electric supply from First Energy Solutions. The effort to aggregate electric supply began this past August with the Village Board approving a resolution that detailed the wording of a referendum petition for placement on the November General Election ballot. On November 6^th, 60.4% of registered Carol Stream voters going to the polls voted YES to give the Village authority to aggregate electric supply on behalf of its residents and small businesses. As the 6month effort to establish a municipal electric aggregation program concludes, a summary of this effort is detailed below:
