STARTING AUGUST 2020
2020 Residential Water Meter Program

Beginning in August, the Village will begin its community-wide water meter replacement program to address this component of Glencoe’s aging water infrastructure. As a Glencoe water customer, it is important to understand every home in Glencoe is required to participate in this program and that installation of the new meter will require temporary access to your home or business, as nearly all water meters are located indoors. 

In recognition that some in the community that may have concerns with this program, the Village is working closely with its contractors and will ensure all appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions are implemented to protect residents’ health and safety. These precautions will be in place throughout the entire replacement process. 

Additional information will be provided as the project start date approaches, but
preliminary project information may be found on the Village's website.
