News & Events State Awards $1Million for Gigabit Internet Partnership to City & Northwestern University Investment Will Help Northwestern University and Area Businesses Build Innovation Corridor, Create Jobs Governor Pat Quinn was joined on January 18 by leaders from the City of Evanston and Northwestern University to announce a $1 million state investment to help the city become an Illinois Gigabit Community, bringing ultra-high speed Internet to one of the nation’s top universities and the surrounding area, home to more than 160 start-ups. This gigabit service will be crucial to developing an economic innovation corridor that will attract entrepreneurs who create jobs as they grow the next generation of world-changing companies.

“To compete in the 21st century economy, we must have technology infrastructure that is second to none,” Governor Quinn said. “Internet service that’s 100 times faster than what we have today will help businesses, universities and governments to revolutionize our communities and make them stronger today and in the future.”

Automatic Metering Information System Work to Begin in April The Utilities Department will begin replacement of its Automatic Metering Information System (AMI) in April 2013. This system transmits the water meter reading via radio signal from each individual property to the city’s computer system. For most of the city’s 14,400 accounts, the contractor will only need to replace the meter transmission unit (MTU) located outside on the exterior wall of the building. This will be done with no disruption or inconvenience to the property owner. For approximately 2,000 properties, the contractor will need to enter the building to replace the MTU located inside the building or to change out the water meter to a newer model compatible with the new AMI system. For any work required inside the building, the homeowner will be requested to make an appointment with the contractor to complete the interior work. The city will work with the selected contractor to put in place safeguards to protect residents during this project. The project is anticipated to take 14 months to complete.

Large Diameter Sewer Rehabilitation The Utilities Department is embarking on an extensive program of large diameter sewer rehabilitation this year. Most residents are familiar with the Long Range Sewer Program, completed LQ ZKLFK LQVWDOOHG D QHZ UHOLHI RYHUĹ?RZ VHZHU V\VWHP throughout several areas of Evanston. This program has been highly successful in minimizing basement backups caused by the surcharging of Evanston’s combined sewer system.

The city is now beginning to rehabilitate the large diameter brick sewers from the original combined sewer system. These sewers are over 100 years old and constructed of brick or segmented clay tile. Sewers will be rehabilitated using the cured-in-place pipe lining method, where a new liner is inserted into the existing sewer through existing manholes. This method minimizes the cost and disruption to residents as compared to the conventional method of open-cut construction to install a new sewer main.

Because of the size of the sewers, the contractor will be working 24 hours a day during the curing process. The following sewers are planned for rehabilitation this year: Ăź &HQWUDO 6WUHHW 6WHZDUW $YHQXH WR 3UDLULH $YHQXH Ăź 3UDLULH $YHQXH &HQWUDO 6WUHHW WR *UDQW 6WUHHW Ăź (PHUVRQ 6WUHHW $VKODQG $YHQXH WR 5LGJH $YHQXH Ăź (OJLQ 5RDG 6LPSVRQ 6WUHHW WR 0F'DQLHO $YHQXH Ăź 'DYLV 6WUHHW 2DN $YHQXH WR 2UULQJWRQ $YHQXH Ăź &OHYHODQG 6WUHHW 3LWQHU $YHQXH WR WKH 1RUWK 6KRUH &DQDO The work has already begun and will continue through the end of 2013.

Drinking Water Week 2013 Local Water, Global Impacts

In an age of globalization, we must stop and think about the LQFUHGLEOH VLJQLĹŽFDQFH RXU ORFDO ZDWHUZD\V KDV QRW RQO\ RQ RXU lives, but on the lives of many others that depend on it. In the reverse, we also must recognize how our local decisions may impact the quality and supply of other water sources abroad.

In Evanston, we are incredibly fortunate to border one of the largest sources of surface fresh water in the world. As the second largest Great Lake, Lake Michigan is an invaluable resource that provides Evanston with incredible economic opportunities, increased property values, recreation, diverse biological life, and aesthetics. The way we treat our water today has immense impacts not only for future generations living here, but even for those in the present living in far reaches from our own homes.

The City of Evanston invites the community to support National Drinking Water Week 2013, May 6 through May 12, and celebrate water as our most precious natural resource.

What is National Drinking Water Week?

For more than 30 years, communities across the United States have joined the American Water Works Association (AWWA) in recognizing the essential role that water plays in our daily lives by celebrating National Drinking Water Week. Throughout the week, AWWA and its partners provide information and host activities to highlight how important water is for us all. This year Evanston has chosen the theme “Local Water, Global Impacts� to remind us of how our local choices have larger consequences on a global scale and how problems we face locally are also being felt in a number of cities across the globe.

Throughout the week, the city will sponsor a series of activities for all ages in honor of National Drinking Water Week. Visit the city’s website for a complete listing. www.cityofevanston.org/ drinkingwaterweek

Public Safety & Health

Fight the Bite! What You Need to Know about West Nile Virus In 2012, there were a total of 11 cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) reported in Evanston, up from zero cases in 2011. Nationally, the number of reported cases was 5,387, the highest it has been since 2003.

West Nile virus (WNV) is a potentially serious illness that is most often spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds.

Although illness from WNV can be potentially life threatening, approximately 80 percent of people who are infected with the virus will not show any symptoms. Of the 20 percent who do have symptoms (including fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting, or a skin rash), about one in 150 will develop severe illness. The severe symptoms can include high IHYHU KHDGDFKH QHFN VWLĹ?QHVV VWXSRU GLVRULHQWDWLRQ FRPD tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis.

“Spring Cleaning� Safety Tips from the Fire Department With spring soon approaching, Evanston Fire Chief Greg Klaiber has suggested that spring cleaning take on another meaning.

It's the ideal time to check our homes and yards for dangerous materials and unsafe conditions and to spend the time to protect our families and our properties. Residents should start by taking a few minutes to plan the safety cleanup day. Check each room in

the home, including the attic and basement. Also, don’t forget the garage, yard and storage shed.

Economic Development

The City’s Consolidated Plan The City of Evanston is committed to a diverse community that is inclusive and encourages residents and institutions to work together to achieve our goal of having the most livable city in America for all residents. The city will continue to pursue strategies to ensure the availability of housing, economic opportunity and social services, particularly for low- and moderate-income residents, individuals and families who are homeless, and persons with special needs. Neighborhood revitalization in areas hardest hit by the recent economic downturn and housing foreclosure crisis whose recovery continues to lag other neighborhoods is also a priority.

The city receives three grants from the federal government each year that provide critical resources to address these needs. Our Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs are governed by our 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. It is the primary vehicle for identifying and prioritizing programs and projects that address federal statutory goals to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and to expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income residents.

Involvement by residents provides input to help us better understand needs and develop actions to address them. Each year, the city develops an action plan that outlines how these funds will be used. The draft 2014 Action Plan will be published in early October for citizen comment prior to its approval by City Council and submission to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. To learn more about the 2014 planning process, visit cityofevanston.org/cdbg and click on “CDBG Applications� or e-mail cdbg@cityofevanston.org to receive updates.
