Snow Removal
 Main streets are cleared first,
secondary (residential) streets are second, and cul-de-sacs are
cleared last.- Intersections are salted after snowplowing. In cases of
severe icing, intersections and straight sections of road are salted
immediately.
- Snowplow drivers are instructed to avoid stopping and talking to
residents.
 A Village ordinance prohibits parking on
Village streets for 24 hours following a two-inch or more snowfall.
A Village ordinance requires sidewalks to be cleared of snow within
24 hours of a two-inch or more snowfall. This allows safe access
for pedestrians.
Place garbage out two hours before pickup on or close to the driveway
to minimize garbage containers becoming snow covered due to the plows.
- Except in an emergency, avoid calling the Village or Police
Department during a snow storm so that emergency calls can get
through.
- In emergencies, dial 911.
- Following a snowfall, nonemergency calls can be made to (630)
372-4440 from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm; call (630) 372-4400 after 4:30 pm
- When inside plumbing is on an outside wall, let the faucet drip
slightly during very cold nights.
- If the water meter is located near a broken or cracked window, fix
the window immediately.
- Don't turn the thermostat down drastically when taking a winter
vacation.
- Ask the Village to shut off your water if you're moving and
listing the house with a real estate agent.
- When thawing frozen pipes, leave the faucet on. This allows
the ice and water to pass through as the pipe thaws.
