Village of Bloomingdale

During January, February, and March of 2012, ComEd, and its sub-contractor Intren (also known as Trench-it), will be replacing nearly 10 miles of underground electric cable throughout the Village.  The work is part of ComEd's annual system reliability improvements.  The majority of the work will be completed by Intren, a sub-contractor to Com-Ed.  To minimize disturbance and the scope of restorations, horizontal directional drilling, a steerable trenchless method of installing underground pipes, conduits and cables, will be used to replace the underground cable.  Only occasional excavations will be required to complete the work; minimal, if any, electrical service disruptions are expected in completing the work.  Both ComEd and Intren personnel will be working in rear yard and/or side yard easements to complete their various tasks.  Intren will place a door hanger notifying affected property owners in the work area.   Both Intren and ComEd workers will be wearing or carrying identification.  Both ComEd and Intren vehicles should be also be clearly marked.  No workers should ask you for access to the interior of your residence to complete the work, as it is not necessary.  Areas disturbed by the work will be restored with top soil and seed blanket as weather permits in the spring of 2012.  Please direct any questions or concerns to Jason Schmitt, Project Manager for Intren at (815) 923-2300 x306.  You may also contact the Village of Bloomingdale, Engineering Division at (630) 671-5676.
