Road Work in the Tartans Neighborhood
We are pleased to announce that Lindsay Lane/Lindsey Court and Edinburgh Lane in the Tartans Neighborhood will be getting a facelift this September.
The initial cost estimate for full width base repair and resurfacing of Lindsey Lane/Court was $370,000, and $430,000 for Edinburgh Lane. Thanks to aggressive contractor pricing, the combined low bid for both streets came in at just over $454,000. Given the significant savings provided by this bid amount, the Village Board has prioritized and allocated the necessary additional dollars toward this year’s Street and Infrastructure Program to facilitate the resurfacing of both roadways under one contract with Schroeder Asphalt Services.
On or about September 5, 2017, weather permitting, roadway surface removal and resurfacing will take place along Lindsay Lane, Lindsay Court and Edinburgh Lane. Weather conditions will determine construction scheduling and delays.
Please note that there will be no on-street parking on these roadways from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm beginning, Tuesday, September 5, 2017 to allow for the removal of the roadway surface. The roadway will remain open during this time and residents will have access to their driveways during this process, but delays and longer drive times should be expected.
Also included in the above referenced program cost is the paving of the Grand Pointe Bike Path along Huntley Road. This work will be completed within the month of September as well.
The Village of West Dundee appreciates your patience and cooperation during the construction activities. Should you have any questions, please contact the Department of Public Works at 847-551-3815, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 am and 3:30 pm.

Water & Sewer Rates Effective June 2017
In conjunction with the passage of the Village’s Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Budget, and in keeping with the goal of addressing the capital infrastructure and maintenance needs of the water and sewer systems, the Village Board authorized an increase to the Village’s water and sewer rate structure that went into effect with the June 2017 bills.
The three-fold rate increase that was approved provides additional funding for rising ongoing operational costs and also provides a source of funding to address the many capital needs for the system. The last time rates were increased was in May 2015.
For more detailed information about the increases to the water and sewer billing rates and fees, please view the Summer/Fall 2017 Village Newsletter. For a chart illustrating the effects of these increases to an individual bill based on water used, please view the PDF below. Should you have any questions regarding your water and sewer bill, please contact Village Hall at 847-551-3800.

Electrical Aggregation Program Re-Negotiation
Following the passage of a 2012 voter referendum, the Village contracted to procure lower-cost electricity supply for residents and small businesses.
The Village recently renegotiated the Electrical Aggregation Program and contracted with the lowest bidder, Dynegy Energy Services, at the fixed rate of 7.058 cents per kWh for a 14-month term to October 2018. The default supply rate from ComEd to June 2018 is 7.185 cents per kWh. As such, the Village's new electric aggregation program rate with Dynegy offers a 0.127 cents per kWh savings over the current ComEd rate.
There is no enrollment fee to join, and no early termination fee to leave the program. Notices will be mailed in June with a response deadline three weeks later.
All residents and small businesses will automatically be enrolled unless they:
- Choose to opt out as directed in the opt out notice; or
- Have previously switched to another alternative Supplier; or
- Participate in an hourly-rate program
Please note: No one will ever come to your home or call to enroll you in the Village’s program. Should you receive such a visit or call from a person purporting to represent the Village, Dynegy, or ComEd, please take the solicitor’s information and contact the Illinois Commerce Commission at their Consumer Services Division complaint line: 800-524-0795.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Village Hall. For FAQs about the renegotiated contract and opt-out/opt-in processes, please click on the PDF below. For additional history regarding the Electrical Aggregation Program in West Dundee, please click on the website link below.

Distracted Driving Awareness
