Nicor
Gas is reminding customers that representatives from our company always
carry proper identification and never ask customers for cash or personal
financial information.
With door-to-door scams, someone impersonating a utility worker will visit a
customer's home looking to get personal information or account information,
and sometimes attempting to get in their home.
Customers can avoid being scammed by taking a few precautions:
- Never provide social security or personal information to anyone initiating
contact with you claiming to be a Nicor Gas representative or requesting you
send money to another person or entity other than Nicor Gas.
- Always ask to see a company photo ID before allowing any utility worker in
your home or business.
- When in doubt, check it out. Be skeptical of individuals wearing clothing
with old or defaced company logos. If you have any doubts, ask to see a
company ID. Residents can contact Nicor Gas Customer Care at 888-642-6748
(888-Nicor4U) to confirm that the person at their door is a Nicor Gas
employee.
- Never make payment for services to anyone coming to the door.
Some of our customers in this area still have meters inside their basements;
as such, access to the gas meter is done in the presence of an adult at the
home. These gas meter reads are not necessarily done by appointment – Nicor
Gas employees will walk a route and call on these customers as they walk
these routes by knocking/ringing at their door.

Help Protect Basic Services and Quality of Life in Your Community
Visit

The Illinois Legislature and Governor Rauner are considering taking local
revenue to patch the state’s budget holes at the expense of Illinois’ cities
and villages.
This local revenue funds basic services like police and fire protection,
road repairs and maintenance, garbage collection, infrastructure projects,
and snowplowing. If the state proposal becomes a reality, the City of
Burbank would lose approximately $1,500,000.00 annually.
Our community is opposed to raising taxes or eliminating essential services
or vital public works projects to make up for the lost revenue.
You Can Help:
• Tell Springfield that they can’t fix their problem by
shifting the burden onto local communities.
• Visit
www.ProtectMyTown.com
to send a letter to your legislators and Governor Rauner urging them not to
take our tax dollars.
The Burbank
Police Department and the FTC
(Federal Trade
Commission) want you to know:
Every year,
thousands of people lose money to telephone scams — from a few dollars to
their life savings. Scammers will say anything to cheat people out of money.
Some seem very friendly — calling you by your first name, making small talk,
and asking about your family. They may claim to work for a company you
trust, or they may send mail or place ads to convince you to call them.
If you get a call from someone you don’t know who is trying to sell you
something you hadn’t planned to buy, say "No thanks." And, if they pressure
you about giving up personal information — like your credit card or Social
Security number — it’s likely a scam. Hang up and report it to the Federal
Trade Commission.

* * MELVINA
RESERVOIR UPDATE * *
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) held a public meeting on
June 16, 2015 at Reavis High School. At that meeting, the MWRD presented a
number of scenarios that they felt would address the problems with flooding
in Burbank. Residents who attended the meeting were asked to vote on the
various solutions they felt would offer the best alternative to reduce
flooding throughout the City of Burbank.
Among the various alternatives was Alternative “E” which was voted to be the
best solution to resolve flooding episodes throughout all of Burbank.
In essence, Alternative “E” called for the expansion of the Melvina
Reservoir by razing 15 properties within the footprint of the reservoir. The
expansion of the reservoir would add 195 acre-feet for additional rainwater
water storage.
The MWRD will begin the process of property acquisition within the very near
future. Concerned homeowners will be contacted by the MWRD or their agents
and offered fair market values for their properties.
