Low-cost driveway repairs goal for Somonauk residents

SOMONAUK The village of Somonauk is compiling a list of homeowners in the village who are interested in paving or resurfacing their driveways.

The brutally cold winter destroyed a lot of driveways this year. The village is compiling its list in an effort to help residents find a company to make the repairs and to get the work done at a reasonable cost. If enough people express interest, the village can negotiate a lower group rate with a single company, resulting in a lower cost for each homeowner.

Residents who would like to get on the list should call village hall at 815-498-3500 by May 3. Residents on the list will be contacted by a paving company, which will visit each home and give homeowners a bid for the work at the negotiated reduced rate. The cost reduction will be based upon the number of driveways, so the more people who sign up, the lower each persons cost will be. The bid is free, and there is no obligation to hire the contractor or to have the work done once the bid is complete.

For information, call village hall and leave a message for Scott Merrill or, to get on the list, leave your name, address and phone number with the clerk.
