March 7, 2023.  This is a historical month in Kenmore's history.  The iconic water tower, which has been a prominent presence of the Kenmore landscape, will be coming down.  The water tower hasn't been used since the 1970s.  Currently, T-Mobile uses the tower for antennae.  Some of you may have noticed the large crane on site yesterday.  That crane was used by TMobile to take down its equipment.  Just across the street, you'll see another tower, which will maintain the T-Mobile network while the deconstruction takes place.  Work will begin in the next week or so (weather dependent).  The first phase will involve paint removal and the second phase will see another large crane coming in to take down the structure.  Be sure to take before and after pictures!

February 16, 2023.  The Village of Kenmore is pleased to announce that it has endorsed HomeServe, a national service provider, to offer home repair insurance for homeowner water and sewer lines.  Letters have been mailed to all property owners.  These letters provide information about the availability of insurance and more about the program.  There is no obligation to purchase insurance through HomeServe.

Homeowners are responsible for the water and sewer lines that run from the Village-owned lines to their homes.  Water and sewer lines can need repair due to neglect, climate, corrosion, or changes in soil.  Many of these lines are very old and repairs to these lines can be quite expensive ($5,000 and up).  HomeServe provides low-cost insurance for water and/or sewer lines owned by the homeowner, with no deductible.  If you participate in this program, HomeServe will contact a licensed plumber and pay for the entire repair.

You may have some coverage under your homeowners policy.  We recommend that you check with your agent to find out how much coverage you have, and what your deductible would be.  HomeServe coverage can supplement any coverage you may have and there is no deductible.  If you don't have any coverage under your current policy, this would provide protection in the event of a problem with your water or sewer line.

Information and pricing is included in the mailing.  We encourage you to review this information and consider participating. Homeowners are invited to enroll by the date listed on the letter.  You can complete and mail in the application form, included with your letter or you can apply online at www.coveragebyhomeserve.com. 

Participation in HomeServe is completely optional.  You decide what works best for you.

Questions about the program can be made by phone at (844) 257-8795 or by going to www.slwofa.com.  SLWA stands for Service Line Warranties of America.

June 2021.  The Village of Kenmore has a new water program, which has been installed to provide greater security to our system.  This new system also allows for online payments.  The new system went into effect June 1st, so at present, the only customers who can use the online payment option are those in Unit I - Red bills.  For those with Blue and Green bills, you'll be able to access this service after receiving your next bill (after June 1, 2021). 

Please note that there will be a small service fee if you pay on line.  If you don't want to have any additional charges, you can pay in person, US Mail, or using the Drop Box located on the Delaware Road side of the Municipal Building. 

Also please note that all customers will have a new account number.  If your water bill is paid by a bank or other 3rd party, be sure to they have your new water account number to ensure proper credit to your account.  We've made every effort to make this changeover as smooth as possible, but please check your bill carefully and let us know if any of the information is incorrect.  For more information on Water, please check the menu on this website.  For information on paying on-line, please see Water/Pay Your Bill.
