Notes Village storm sewer
extensions are designed and a route is based to develop the most cost effective solution to benefit the properties affected.

Sump pumps may be
connected, but will not
be paid for by the
Village.
 Would empower resident to select contractor, dictate schedule and leverage Village assistance.

Is not a sump pump
connection program.
 Rain gardens are designed
with the Low Impact
Development (LID) concept. A rain garden can be used as an alternative fix (cheaper/faster) to help alleviate water problems
closer to the source, unlike traditional draining methods.

Sump pumps may be
connected.
 Used when resident's sump pump is causing excessive accumulation.

Geared for sump pump connection to storm sewer.
