Many of the streets throughout northeast Hinsdale were flooded after a Saturday afternoon rainfall. Several longtime residents said they had never seen anything like it.

The flooding created sev- eral voids under the roadway that had to be stabilized, he said. “Now we’re shifting our focus with the village to start conducting the investigations,” Zucchero said. Prior to the flooding, the Tollway had been working with heavy machinery along the southern edge of Peirce Park, and a piping system is visible near home plate of the baseball field closest to Wellness House. That and other areas will be assessed, Zucchero said. At times on Saturday “We’re looking at everything the water bubbling up throughout the entire project area,” from this sewer, on the he said. “We have to wait for the corner of Walnut Street water in all of the pipes to subside and County Line Road, before we can get in and conduct a reached more than 5 full investigation.” feet into the air.

  • 2021 Q2 Earnings Release
    Coca-Cola Reports Strong Results in Second Quarter; Updates Full Year Guidance Global Unit Case Volume Grew 18% Net Revenues Grew 42%; Organic Revenues (Non-GAAP) Grew 37% Operating Income Grew 52%; Comparable Currency Neutral Operating Income (Non-GAAP) Grew 46% Operating Margin Was 29.8% Versus 27.7% in the Prior Year; Comparable Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) Was 31.7% Versus 30.0% in the Prior Year EPS Grew 48% to $0.61; Comparable EPS (Non-GAAP) Grew 61% to $0.68 ATLANTA, July 21, 2021 – The Coca-Cola Company today reported strong second quarter 2021 results and year-to- date performance. “Our results in the second quarter show how our business is rebounding faster than the overall economic recovery, led by our accelerated transformation. As a result, we are encouraged and, despite the asynchronous nature of the recovery, we are raising our full year guidance,” said James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “We are executing against our growth plans and our system is aligned. We are better equipped than ever to win in this growing, vibrant industry and to accelerate value creation for our stakeholders.” Highlights Quarterly Performance • Revenues: Net revenues grew 42% to $10.1 billion, and organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 37%. Revenue performance included 26% growth in concentrate sales and 11% growth in price/mix. Revenue growth was driven by the ongoing recovery in markets where coronavirus-related uncertainty is abating, along with the benefit from cycling revenue declines from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic last year. • Margin: Operating margin, which included items impacting comparability, was 29.8% versus 27.7% in the prior year, while comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) was 31.7% versus 30.0% in the prior year.
