Public Works

The Water & Sewer operations of the Public Works Department are resonsible for maintaining the Village's water system and combined stormwater-sanitary sewer system.  The water system consists of the pump house where water is received from the City of Chicago, water tower, and the mains, valves, and serivces that distribute potable water to Village residents.  The sewer system consists of the services and mains that collect sewage and stormwater runoff and discharge the collected sewage to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. 

The responsibility of the Public Works Department as it pertains to the Water & Sewer systems includes repairing any leaks in main or service lines, monitoring pump house operations, maintaining valves and other mechanical parts within the two systems, and conducting meter reads and turnoffs in conjunction with the billing operations of the Village.
