Village Manager's Report
- Update on August 4 storm and associated ComEd power outages. At 1 a.m. on August 5 the Village was notified that
there were a potential 730 outages in Glenview. By 8 a.m. ComEd confirmed that 419 customers had had prolonged outages, however, all power was restored by noon (with a
recurrence at 4 p.m. in the Bonnie Glen area which was corrected within a short period). Most of the outages involved Circuit 801, which runs through southwest Glenview.
This circuit has long been a problem -- since January 1, 2006 it has experienced 52 outages. Some improvements have been carried out; ComEd has
improved fusing, completed substation work, installed wildlife protection, removed some customers from the circuit to reduce the load, and done some
tree trimming. However, there is still work to do. Another concern involved ComEd's "E-Outage" system, which is designed to electronically
alert municipalities as to outages in their areas. Emails were delayed last night and this morning the system wasn't functional.
