Does the Village provide any cost sharing to treat Dutch Elm Disease?

Yes. The Village provides a 50/50 cost share fungicide treatment program  for parkway elms to help control the disease. Residents who have an  American elm are eligible to participate in this program. The treatment consists of injecting a liquid fungicide into the water-conducting  tissue of the tree. It has a very good success rate in preventing DED infection from the feeding of elm bark beetles for up to three years. After three years, the tree must be retreated for continued protection from DED. Residents with a private elm may contact the Village's contractor to have their tree treated for the same cost.
