Sewer
General Information
The Public Works Department is responsible for the
operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system within
the Village.
If you experience any type of sewer backup in your home,
please call the Department at (630) 736-3850, before
calling a plumber. The Village can televise your sewer
line at no cost, if you have an outside sewer cleanout, to check
the condition of your line. Residents are responsible
for the repair and maintenance of their individual sewer
service (from the house to the main sewer line).
Please call the Department for more information.
If it becomes necessary to replace your sewer service, a
permit is required. Permits are issued by the Community
Development Department. A Building Permit application is
available in the Forms
and Applications page in the Reference Desk section of our
website.
What is a cleanout and when is
it needed?
A sewer cleanout station is a four to six inch pipe
that is attached to your sewer service line and extended to
the ground surface. The cleanout station is designed to
make it easier for your plumber to rod your sewer line in the
future. However, please note that installation of a
cleanout will not permanently solve the problems that
are causing your sewer to back up. The cost of the
installation of a sewer cleanout station and the guarantee
vary. If you decide to have a cleanout installed, we
recommend obtaining more than one price quote.
If tree roots or a broken pipe causes your sewer backups,
then the installation of a sewer cleanout station is not
the best solution. In this case, the best long term
solution is to have the existing clay sewer pipe replaced.
