Elgin Courier-News: Hampshire Looks to Update Resident Contact Info

The village board is requesting an update from residents on their contact information for notification purposes in the event of an emergency.
Trustee George Brust requested at the village board meeting Thursday night that residents provide new contact information when they come in to pay their water bills.
“We are trying to update our emergency information so we can reach them at any time,” Brust said. “There are a number of residents whose numbers we do not have.”
In addition to providing the updated phone numbers, Village President Jeffrey Magnussen said, residents also can pick up as many as three CFL energy-saving light bulbs when they come in to pay their water bills. The Metro West Association gave 750 of the fluorescent bulbs to the village. The bulbs will be handed out on a first-come, first -served basis.
Brust said the bulbs contain mercury and must be dropped off at a special recycling center at the end of their lifespan rather than disposed of with the regular garbage. There also are special steps to be taken in the event the bulbs are broken. More information is available at www.earth911.org and www.comedcare.com.
