LEAF PICKUP PROGRAM
(Leaves Only)

This program will begin on Monday, October 21, 2013, and end on Friday, December 6, 2013.

Leaves will be picked up per the following schedule:

The 4-way stop will be the middle location of town.

Monday – East & West streets in the Southwest section of town
Tuesday –North & South streets in the Southwest section of town
Wednesday – Northwest section of town
Thursday – Northeast & Southeast sections of town
Friday – The Briars & catch up day if needed

The pickups will begin at 7:00 a.m. and each residence will only be passed by once. The Village Maintenance Department will pickup leaves ONLY (no sticks, limbs, bottles or trash should be mixed with the leaves). Vehicles need to be parked away from leaf piles to provide access for the leaf machine. If the leaves are not out when the Village passes that week, they will not be picked up. Please do not call and ask for special pickups. The only way to do this in an equitable fashion is to pass by everyone’s residence only once. During times of heavy leaf pickup the Village will do their best to adhere to the schedule, but may run behind at certain periods.

LEAF BURNING
(Year-round)

Wednesdays 11a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sunset rule will be enforced during months when applicable

Information on Electric Aggregation vs. Individual Contracts

Residents have reported that electricity marketers have begun door-to-door and telephone campaigns in Millstadt. Our residents should be aware that the electric aggregation program sponsored by Millstadt has a rate of [X.XX] ¢ per kilowatt-hour. This rate is lower than residents will pay under the terms of individual contracts currently being offered by door-to-door solicitors or telemarketers. In the Millstadt aggregation program, residents are not required to sign a contract at all, and will not be called nor visited by a salesperson. Residents in our community are often confused by the actions of marketers, who typically present savings compared to the Ameren Illinois rates. Our community’s electric contract price is already lower than Ameren’s rates. Further, our program’s rates do not have variable, hidden or “pass through” charges. Residents should be certain to review all contract terms, ask about additional charges, and not feel pressured to take action right away. If you are in a new residential electric account, or uncertain if you are enrolled in the community aggregation program, please contact our supplier, Homefield Energy:

Do you have a relative, friend, or know of anyone who lives within the Village of Millstadt or Millstadt Township that is currently in the military or has recently separated from service within the last year? If someone you know meets this criteria, please call the Village Office at 476-1514.

We look forward to hearing from you.
