Remember Last Year's Storms, Power Outages?
Morton Grove is urging people to sign up for texts about power outages.
Remember the bad storms last spring and summer--and the power outages which lasted 24 hours, and on up to four days for some residents?
There was little way to get information on when power would be restored. Now, ComEd had created a way to do that via texts, and the Village of Morton Grove is urging people to take advantage of the program.

The Village of Morton Grove is also advising of other news re: utilities:
- NICOR Gas has an energy efficiency program which offers cash rebates for the purchase and installation of certain types of high-efficiency equipment.
- Call J.U.L.I.E. at 811 before you start digging on home repair and construction projects. The service will locate underground cable in the area, preventing you from unintentionally cutting it.
