Many residents
may not be aware that one of the major costs of operations
at the Village is the processing of sanitary wastewater.
Interestingly, the Village actually processes more
wastewater than the potable water we produce! This means
water from other places is infiltrating the Village systems.
One of the most common ways that this occurs is when
residents hook up their sump pumps to the Village sanitary
systems. Sump pump water does not need to be treated and
should not go through the wastewater treatment system.
In fact, it is ILLEGAL to hook your sump pump into the
sanitary system and has been since, at least, 1987.
__________________________________________________________
So, in an
effort to reduce unnecessary and expensive treatment of
water, the Village will be contacting residents and
businesses that have sump pump connections into the sanitary
systems and require that these be disconnected. Village
staff will explain alternate methods of dealing with sump
pump discharges. If you own one of these homes or
businesses, we urge you now, to begin to change over your
system. Please contact Joe Moore, Public Works Supervisor at
815-286-3285 for any questions on how to do this. Beginning
in the month of September, any sump pump systems still
connected will be required to be taken off the wastewater
system. As always, the Village appreciates everyone’s
efforts to control costs (that we all must otherwise
absorb).
