826 Algonquin Customers Still Without Power

“This morning’s numbers indicate 826 accounts are still out, with 3,125 restored,” said Michael Kumbera, management assistant for the village, in an email.

“The areas around the river are worse off, but overall the village is in good shape,” Kumbera had said Monday.

Power has been restored to all the traffic signals in Algonquin, including the intersection at Eastgate Drive and East Algonquin Road, he said.

Surrounding towns seemed to have been harder-hit by Monday’s storm. In nearby Lake in the Hills, nearly double the amount in Algonquin.

The village of Algonquin will have at the Public Works Facility, 110 Meyer Drive, on July 13 and 14 to dispose of spoiled food if your curbside collection date has passed.

To dispose of fallen branches and twigs, bundle up branches that are no thicker than 4 inches in diameter and 4 feet or less in length and put a garbage sticker on them. Waste Management will pick them up on your next garbage day. The bundle cannot weigh any more than 50 pounds.
