Utility Updates
The Village of Jerome was informed this morning that AT&T and Xfinity cell towers are having difficulties with calls and texts not going out. The companies are aware of the issues and are working to repair. Please be patient. CWLP has an outage map that is not correct and they are aware. 50% of the Village was restored power and the remaining power outage is still being addressed. No timeline on when it will be restored. More storms are expected this weekend. We will keep you updated as we learn more.
Water Issue
Due to current weather, Lake Springfield is stagnant and very warm. A perfect incubator for algae growth that causes taste and odor compounds. They are not harmful, but can give a dirty taste to the water. CWLP is feeding powdered activated carbon to help with the taste, but it will not remove it completely.
Copies of the information will be posted and available at the Village office.
4th of July Parade
4th of July Parade will be on Tuesday July 4, 2023 at 9:00 am. The parade will start at the Village Hall and work its way down several streets. Hyvee has donated hot dogs, water and chips. If you would like to join in the parade route contact the Village Office at 217-546-2203.

not be placed out any earlier than 1 WEEK prior to pick up dates.
(per Ordinance) Size of pile restrictions are still in place per
Ordinance. Any piles larger than 6ft wide x 4ft tall x 8ft long are
considered oversize and will require a $75.00 fee to be paid before
pickup will occur. Residents who either have “Oversized” piles, or
were late setting piles out will be notified via a letter stating why their
pile was not removed, and any fees owed, and where to pay fees. Any
questions can be directed to Public Works Supervisor David Wilken
directly at 217-546-9647.
