Why call the Village first
The Sewer Division routinely cleans, repairs and maintains the sanitary and storm sewer lines and the lift stations that serve them. If the problem is in the public main or a lift station, a plumber working on your private line won't fix it. Calling first also creates a record of the backup.
Stormwater incentive program
The Village publishes a Stormwater Incentive Program application for property owners. See the application (PDF) for current eligibility.
Wastewater treatment
Lake Bluff is in the North Shore Water Reclamation District's service area, which treats the wastewater collected by the Village's sewers.
County resources
Lake County's Stormwater Management Commission offers floodplain maps, floodproofing guidance and flood insurance information for Lake County homeowners.
