The Village of Sugar Grove Public Works Department will be performing hydrant flushing April 1st thru April 12th. The Public Works Department performs hydrant flushing twice a year as part of the regular maintenance to the Village water distribution system. By simply flushing hydrants to allow water to flow rapidly through them, water quality is improved and mineral build-up in the water mains is minimized. Hydrant flushing also ensures that hydrants are ready for emergency use. Please note that hydrant flushing could temporarily cause rusty-looking water, even for homes outside the particular flushing area. The discoloration is caused by minerals that get stirred up in the water mains. Residents are encouraged to refrain from washing laundry when flushing is done in or near their neighborhood as the temporarily discolored water may cause laundry staining. Public Works crews will flush hydrants from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday according to the following schedule:

Well #2 (TP01) is an emergency back up well and this well is only pumped for IEPA sampling. Well #2 is a very low volume producing well (~400 gpm) and it’s not practical for the Village to use this well as a first choice for an emergency backup supply. When the Village pumps Well #2 each month, the village pumps the water directly to waste and the water does not go into the distribution system. All of the Village’s shallow wells have been designated as backups for sampling purposes. These shallow wells typically exhibit elevated levels of manganese, and the Village has regularly been testing for manganese. On May 22, 2023 the Village of Sugar Grove received a letter from the IEPA for a Violation notice for exceeding the maximum contaminant level for manganese based on samples taken from our Well #2 (TP01). While the IEPA required that all water customers be notified by letter of the test results, there is no risk to the Village’s drinking water supply . The well is only an emergency back-up and has not been used since 2003. The Village is considering our options to address the elevated manganese level at this well, including installing additional filters, an ion-exchange system, and/or complete abandonment of the well. We anticipate resolving the problem within the year. For more information, please contact Chris Lemke at 630-391-7230 or 601 Heartland Drive, Sugar Grove IL 60554.

For Immediate Release: February 7, 2024 Sugar Grove, IL - The Village of Sugar Grove's Village Board advanced recommendations to enhance intersection safety and traffic flow at Park Avenue and IL 47 by submitting their recommendations to IDOT. “With these long-awaited safety improvements, this project makes this area safer for everyone on the roads,” said Village of Sugar Grove President Jennifer Konen. “We are happy to see these improvements moving forward at this busy intersection and we remain committed to evaluating and advocating for increased safety on our roadways.” The recommended improvements include measures such as prohibiting through movements across IL 47 and left turns from Park Avenue, installing raised medians or islands on Park Avenue, and enhancing signage and pavement markings to encourage safer driving behavior. These proposed changes aim to improve safety and traffic flow by reducing certain high-risk movements while encouraging more controlled and safe driving behavior. The recommendations stem from a Traffic Study conducted by HRGreen, which studied the history of serious crashes at the intersection and determined most crashes involve vehicles from Park Avenue crossing or turning left onto IL 47. It found the heavy traffic volumes and high speeds on IL 47 make entry gaps infrequent, causing driver frustration, which can lead to unsafe decisions. This also creates long delays on Park Avenue, causing congestion and poor traffic conditions. Should IDOT approve the recommendations, the project’s next phase would involve the preparation of detailed engineering to support a construction permit. Given that IL 47 is a State Highway, the project will require a permit from IDOT's Bureau of Traffic. The estimated budget for engineering and construction is approximately $235,000. For more information on the plan and HRGReen’s study, visit our website www.sugargroveil.gov. ### Media Contact: Meredith Krantz (630) 947-2385 meredith@krantzstrategies.com

For Immediate Release: October 17, 2023 Sugar Grove, IL – The Village of Sugar Grove recognizes the significant community interest and discussion regarding the proposed redevelopment project, commonly known as "The Grove," along with the associated Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plan. While the developer's formal proposal is expected later this year, no formal plan has been presented yet. To allow for increased public engagement of the development proposal, annexation, and the accompanying TIF proposal, Sugar Grove has opted to postpone public hearings until after the holidays. “Our priority is to strike the right balance, ensuring both the economic stability of our residents and enhanced quality of life for our community. The Village Board has consistently emphasized that any proposal under consideration must align with our community’s objectives, including a substantial reduction in distribution compared to previous plans. We are committed to a thorough assessment of the proposal's impact, aiming for long-term financial stability while fostering a welcoming environment for new businesses, restaurants, shops, and entertainment,” said Sugar Grove Village President Jennifer Konen. As the Village Board and staff actively collaborate with the developer, they have identified critical principles in guiding the pursuit of a balanced plan. · Enhanced Quality of Life: The plan must prioritize residents’ well-being by offering an approach that elevates the overall quality of life in Sugar Grove. This includes introducing amenities like restaurants, shopping, and parks while contributing to homeowners' property tax relief. · Vibrant Local Business Environment: To benefit local businesses, the plan should bring more people to Sugar Grove’s shops and encourage the use of local services. Attracting new residents and visitors during the day is essential as it aligns with the criteria that new businesses seek when considering investments in our community. · Strengthening Community Services: The plan must be thoughtfully crafted to enhance the local economy, create jobs, and generate revenue for essential public services, including education and public safety. Sugar Grove has faced limited population growth compared to neighboring communities over the past decade, making attracting new businesses and investments challenging. This has increased the burden on residents to support essential public services, including public safety, infrastructure, and education. Through the consideration of this redevelopment project, the Village aims to promote economic stability, diversify the tax base, add new businesses, and enhance community support. After the developer’s proposal is received, the Village will communicate a schedule for public hearings and plans to engage the community and gather feedback. This process includes online and print notices, mailings to stakeholders, public access to the plan, a public hearing with the Joint Review Board, and a final board meeting. These steps ensure transparency and inclusivity, remaining central throughout the evaluation and decision-making process. Community involvement remains a top priority for the Village. Residents are encouraged to stay informed, attend Village board meetings, reach out to board members, and stay updated with Village communications regarding the project. The Village is committed to transparency and will post official documents and information about “The Grove” project at: https://www.sugargroveil.gov/sugar-grove-llc-development-information . To stay up to date on the latest developments from the Village, please subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.sugargroveil.gov/sign-up-to-receive-notification For more information, please visit sugargroveil.gov . ### Media Contact: Meredith Krantz (630) 947-2385 meredith@krantzstrategies.com
