A Message From Mayor
Harriet Rosenthal
Regarding Recent Boil
Water Order
The safety of our residents
and water customers is one
of our primary responsibilities
and the security and integrity
of the Village’s potable
water supply is paramount
to that. Our water system recently violated
a drinking water standard. Although this
incident was not an emergency, it did result
in a boil water order and, as our customers,
you have a right to know what happened and
what we did to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor for drinking water
contaminants. We take 20 routine samples
per month to test for the presence of
coliform bacteria. Two of the five samples
taken on August 8 showed the presence
of fecal coliform bacteria and the three
repeat samples taken on August 9 showed
the presence of total coliform bacteria. The
standard is that no more than one sample
per month can contain this indicator
bacteria.
The test results from August 8 and since
indicate that there was little if any problem
in the distribution of our water supply to our
residents and businesses. Other locations

Message from the Mayor
Continued from Page 1
tested the same day were clear. Re-tests have
also been clear and the amount of residual
chlorine present in all the samples taken
August 8 and since has been substantial,
which shows that there was continuing
treatment of the water in the system. This
problem has been resolved and no bacteria
have been found in any subsequent testing.
What does this mean?
A boil water order was issued on August
12, 2013, and lifted on August 14, 2013.
The boil water order was implemented
as a preventative measure due to fecal
coliform bacteria being found in two water
samples. Fecal coliform is bacteria whose
presence indicates that the water may
be contaminated with human or animal
wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause
diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or
other symptoms.
Coliform bacteria are generally not harmful
themselves. Coliforms are bacteria that
are naturally present in the environment
and are used as an indicator that other,
potentially harmful, bacteria may be
present. Coliforms were found in more
samples than allowed and this was a
warning of potential problems.
Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could
be a problem with the system’s treatment or
distribution system (pipes). Whenever we
detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we
do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria
of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or
E. coli, are present.
Emergency Notification
The Village is also investigating ways to
improve emergency notification. Please see
the article on Page 3 for more information
about signing up for the Connect CTY
reverse 9-1-1 system.
What happened? What was done?
Although the source of the contamination
has not been determined, the Village is
taking steps to reduce the chance of future
contamination. If the source is discovered,
that information will be shared with the
public. The Village of Deerfield continues
to chlorinate the water system. We have
contracted with a backflow prevention
specialist to further investigate the
potential contamination source and locate
vulnerabilities in the water distribution
system.
The Village of Deerfield has 44 registered
water sampling sites throughout the
Village. All registered testing sites are being
re-evaluated under the supervision of the
IEPA.
The IEPA agrees that the Village was not
aware that the routine distribution coliform
samples collected on August 8 were positive
for fecal coliform until August 12 and the
notification was issued within the required
time frame.
After evaluating multiple area Illinois
Department of Public Health accredited
labs, the Village has decided to change
to the Central Lake County Joint Action
Water Agency, Lake Bluff, as the water
sampling lab to test the Village’s water
supply. Notably, this lab conducts an IDPH
accredited Colilert test that can confirm
Total Coliform and E. coli in 18 to 24 hours
and is preferred to the 48-hour membrane
filtration method. The lab has 12 IDPH
certified technicians and is a fully staffed on
Saturdays and Sundays.
The IEPA Division of Public Water
Supplies has reviewed the Village’s
Standard Operating Procedures for Water
System Sampling (SOP) and provided
recommendations that are now in effect.
All of the Village’s actions will be reviewed
by the IEPA and we welcome that review.
If any appropriate follow up actions with
personnel or procedures are necessary, as
a result of the IEPA’s review, they will be
taken and reported.

2013 Street Rehabilitation
Project Underway
The Village of Deerfield is pleased
to announce that the 2013 Street
Rehabilitation Project is underway. The
purpose of this project is to reconstruct
and/or rehabilitate the existing Village-
owned infrastructure on several streets
throughout the Village.
The following locations were selected for
the project this year:
• Bayberry Lane from Appletree Lane to
Pine Street
• Bent Creek Ridge from Carriage Way
to Carriage Way
• Carriage Way from Deerfield Road to
Bent Creek Ridge
• Cherry Street from Greenwood
Avenue to Somerset Avenue
• Springfield Avenue from Fair Oaks
Avenue to Hazel Avenue
• Timberhill Road from Bayberry Lane
to Charing Cross Road
Construction will be underway at various
locations simultaneously.
When concrete curbs, driveway aprons,
and concrete sidewalks are being installed,
residents may not have access to their
driveways and the road will be closed to
through traffic. Residents will be advised
to park their vehicles on adjacent streets
during construction hours, weekdays 7:30
a.m. to 6 p.m., or in front of their homes
after construction hours. All parkway areas
disturbed by construction activity will be
restored. Construction is expected to near
completion by November 15, 2013.
The Village of Deerfield website will have
weekly updates regarding construction
progress; the website can be viewed at www.
deerfield.il.us. Residents are able to sub-
scribe to location specific email notifica-
tions by visiting www.DeerfieldProjectMan-
ager.com .

Sign up for Deerfield’s
Emergency Notification
System
Residents and businesses are encouraged
to sign up for Connect CTY, the Village’s
emergency notification system. The system
has the ability to notify the Deerfield popu-
lation in a matter of minutes.
Connect CTY delivers emergency informa-
tion directly to your phone via voice, TTY,
text, and by email. There is a portal on the
Village website: www.deerfield.il.us (see
below) that will allow you to sign up.
A community-wide test call will be con-
ducted on Thursday, September 26, 2013,
at 11:45 a.m. to ensure that residents are
better aware of the Connect CTY service.
Residents can provide their correct phone
numbers and email addresses should they
not receive the test message. If you do
not have access to the internet, you may
complete the below form and mail it to the
Deerfield Police Department, 850 Wauke-
gan Road, Deerfield, IL 60015.
Most listed phone numbers are automati-
cally entered into the system; however un-
listed numbers and new residents may need
to confirm their phone number is in the da-
tabase. Phone numbers are also added each
month from 28 different public sources.
Users can input additional phone and cell
numbers (text too), email addresses, and a
TTY number for the hearing-impaired. The
account must be tied to a valid street ad-
dress in the Village of Deerfield.
During the recent boil order, a Connect
CTY message was sent out to more than
10,000 Deerfield phones and emails.
How does the service work?
Authorized officials compose, record,
text, email, and deliver the message.
Caller-ID will show: Village of Deerfield
847.945.5000.
***Important- The system is voice- acti-
vated. When you receive a call, it will not
deploy until you speak. Simply say “hello”
to hear the emergency message***
What types of messages will be sent?
Any message regarding the safety or welfare
of our community may be disseminated.
Will Connect CTY work on my an-
swering machine and/or if I have a call
screening system on my phone?
Answering machines need to have a voice
recording to prompt the emergency mes-
sage and some call screening devices will
not accept pre-programed recordings, such
as Connect CTY. One way to remedy this
is to sign-up your cell phone and email.
How does the system respond to busy
signals or no-answer situations?
For busy signals, the call will be repeated
several times in an attempt to reach you.
The same is true for No-answer and Call-
waiting. If a message recorder answers
the phone, the message will be left on the
answering device. If after several attempts
the call does not successfully go through,
the system will stop attempting to call.
How can I check to see if I am in the
system?
So that we can protect your information,
the system does not allow you to search
subscribers. If you are unsure as to whether
you are in the system, sign up on the web-
site and be assured that when an emergency
call is placed, you will be contacted only
once. Better safe than sorry.
If you have any questions, contact Mary
Anne Glowacz, Communications Director at
847.945.8636 or via email at mglowacz@
deerfield.il.us. e
Directions: Please indicate which phone numbers and email
addresses you want us to use when contacting you through the
Connect CTY alert and notification service.
Fill in all available numbers and e-mail addresses on the lines
provided. NOTE: Emergency messages will go to ALL available
numbers. Check the box next to the phone number if you would
like to receive a text message at that number.

Chicago River within Deerfield can be pre-
dicted days in advance, giving ample warning
for preparation and evacuation.
In the event of a flash flood due to a large
rain event, you may be the first to notice
the oncoming situation so please notify the
Village Police Department/Fire District. You
may also tune your radio to WGN-720 AM
and WBBM-780 AM for local and national
weather updates. You will also see regular
interruption on local radio and television
stations advising you of the situation.

Fall Leaf Collection
The Village’s annual
leaf collection program
provides residents
with an alternative for
disposal of their autumn leaves. Residents
who do not mulch or bag their leaves may
simply rake leaves to the curb or carriage
walk line the night before their scheduled
pickup. Beginning the week of October
28 and continuing through November 22,
Public Works Department crews will make
one pass by each house in the Village every
week during the 4-week program.
Here are some reminders for leaf pickup:
• Do not park on the street the day of
your pickup.
• Do not rake grass clippings, sticks,
rocks, branches or mud to the curb with
your leaves.
• Try to put leaves out each week, if pos
sible.
• Inclement weather may delay pickups,
but crews will make at least four trips
through your neighborhood.
For more information call the Public Works
Department at 847.317.7245 e
Flood Information:
Installment 3 of 3:
Natural & Beneficial
Functions
Floodplains play a valuable role in provid-
ing natural and beneficial functions to the
area around, and including, Deerfield.
Floodplains that are relatively undisturbed
provide a wide range of benefits to both
human and natural systems. These ben-
efits provide aesthetic pleasure as well as
function to provide active processes such
as filtering nutrients.
Parts of both the Middle and West Fork
of the North Branch of the Chicago River
floodplain are used as a means to filter
chemical run-off so that these areas can
maintain bio-diversity and ecosystem
sustainability.
Both floodplains contain historic and ar-
cheological sites that provide opportunity
for education and study. They enhance
waterfowl, fish and other wildlife habitats
and provide feeding/breeding grounds.
And lastly, both floodplains provide
natural erosion control and open space so
further flooding damage does not occur.
Drainage System
Maintenance
As simple as it may sound, simply keeping
smaller ditches and streams free of debris
can dramatically improve the run-off ca-
pacity of low-lying areas, as well as greatly
reduce incidental blockage that signifi-
cantly contributes to flooding.
Please note that it is illegal to dump
materials into a required waterway and
violators may be fined. If you see some-
one in the act of dumping or see debris in
one of our watercourses, please contact
the Village Engineering Department at
847.317.2490.

prescription drugs come from the supplies
of family and friends.

Invasion of the Pumpkins
For Charity Every Saturday
in October
The Village of Deerfield has partnered with the
DBR Chamber of Commerce, CRM Properties and
downtown merchants to hold “The Invasion of the
Pumpkins” for charity.
Throughout October, a number of large fiberglass
pumpkins painted by local residents and Deerfield
High School students will be placed around down-
town Deerfield. The Invasion of the Pumpkins will
usher in a month of activities, special events, live
entertainment, outdoor movies and retail promo-
tions every Saturday in October.
Fabricated by the makers of Chicago’s Cows on
Parade, each pumpkin will feature a local charity
and have a coin slot for donations. Look for a mailer
with more details.

at 847.719.7400. e

Know the Law for Open Burning
In the Village of Deerfield, the open burning of leaves, brush, trimmings from trees or
bushes, paper, garbage, refuse, waste or other combustible material on any property,
public or private, is unlawful. However, this prohibition on open burning does not ap-
ply to outdoor grills or fires in outdoor fireplaces that meet the following requirements:
• A portable fireplace or fire pit shall not be operated within five feet of any property
line. Any fire pit or fireplace with a foundation or that is embedded in the ground
shall be located not less than ten feet from any property line.
• Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits shall be located on a noncombustible surface while
in operation.
• Only charcoal, natural or propane gas, commercial fire logs or dry and seasoned
firewood may be burned or used as fuel in an outdoor fireplace or fire pit.
• No outdoor fireplace or fire pit may be operated without adult supervision and a
readily available means for extinguishing burning materials. The fire shall be com-
pletely extinguished prior to leaving the fireplace or fire pit unsupervised.
Dogs Are Required To Be Leashed
All dogs in the Village are required to be leashed. No owner or any person entitled
to the custody of any dog shall permit the dog to be at large or to confine the dog in a
manner so that it can escape and be at large, unless the dog is securely confined upon a
leash of sufficient strength not more than three feet (3’) and accompanied by any able
bodied person capable of controlling the actions of the dog under any circumstance.
Any person, firm or corporation in violation of the leash ordinance shall be fined not
less than $10.00 for the first such offense; and shall not be fined less than $25.00 for the
second such offense; and shall be fined not less than $50.00 for the third offense and all
subsequent offenses within a one year period.
Remember to pick up after your pets and properly dispose of animal waste. Be courte-
ous to your neighbors and only dispose of animal waste in your own garbage receptacle.
