The Stormwater Management Branch is responsible for contracted mowing, broadleaf weed control and aquatic chemical treatment of Village-owned ponds and right of way sites.

The maintenance of Village-owned stormwater facilities and control structures is assigned to this branch. In addition, the maintenance of all publicly deeded storm lines and inlets within public easements outside the roadway is included.

To enhance the Village’s GIS (Geographical Information System), the Public Works Department has began a multi-year project to locate storm sewer structures and piping throughout the Village. [Read more...]
