July edition of 'Naperville Connected' now available

The City of Naperville reminds residents that the July 2011 edition of its resident newsletter Naperville Connected is now available to view as a PDF at www.naperville.il.us/connected.aspx.

This month's newsletter features information about the City's website being named No. 1 in the state by the University of Illinois at Chicago's Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement; changes to the Regional Transportation Authority's Seniors Ride Free Program; motorcycle, fireworks and firearms safety tips and a link to the City's recently launched brush and leaf collection satisfaction survey.

Naperville Connected is a one-page publication distributed monthly with residents' and businesses' utility bills. For e-Bill customers, a link to an electronic copy of Naperville Connected is sent to the e-mail address they provided to the City.

Naperville Connected replaces the former Bridges newsletter that was mailed quarterly to every home and business in Naperville. By transitioning the newsletter to a one-page, in-house printed publication, Naperville is saving 7,938 pounds, or 252,000 sheets, of paper per year. Additionally, Naperville will save an annual $54,000 on postage fees and $35,000 on printing costs.
