Public Works - Water/Wastewater Division Table of Contents The Water/Wastewater Division is responsible for supplying clean, safe drinking water to the residents of Burr Ridge and is responsible for the pumping, storage and distribution system which provides Lake Michigan water to Burr Ridge. This task requires the maintenance of the Village Pump Center and distribution systems which includes buildings, pumps, communication systems, tower/reservoir maintenance, water sampling/testing, water main repairs, fire hydrant flushing, valve exercising and water meter reading. The system includes a pumping station, a 3 million gallon underground reservoir, 2 million and 300,000 gallon elevated storage tanks and a standby system of wells. Lake Michigan water is rechlorinated at the Burr Ridge pumping station before being distributed to residents. The Water/Wastewater Division is responsible for water testing, water main repairs, fire hydrant flushing, valve exercising, water meter reading, and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system, including lift stations, in Cook County. Sewer system duties include maintenance of the sanitary sewer system (including lift stations) in Cook County. Backflow Prevention Inspections In order for the Village to comply with
Environmental Protection Agency regulations, we require any
business or residential home with an RPZ devise for backflow
prevention to have it inspected yearly by a licensed plumber.
Homes with a water meter larger than 1" in diameter and
homes with sprinkler systems also require installation of RPZ
devices and must have them inspected yearly. Sod restorations begins in the spring and continues through the fall. Any right-of-way that was damaged from water main repairs will be restored after proper ground settlement takes place and weather permits. Dial 8-1-1 for the JULIE One Call System For safety's sake, before digging, it is imperative to call JULIE, the underground locating system at their new number 8-1-1 or 1-800-892-0123 to have utilities on your property located. There is no charge to the caller for the locates. All municipalities are required to be members of JULIE. Water lines, sewer lines and Village owned street light cables are included in locates for the Village. Visit www.illinois1call.com for more information. The APWA (American Public Works Assocation) utilizes a uniform marking color code to identify different underground utilities.
The Village is in the process of replacing all water meters in the Carriage Way Subdivision. We will be replacing both the inside meter and outside reading device with a water meter with radio read technology. The new meter system will also include an outside touchpad to conform to current meter reading requirements. This work will be accomplished at no charge to you. Meters will be replaced between the hours 7:30 AM and 2:00 PM, Monday through Friday and should take approximately one hour to complete. Customers are billed on a bi-monthly basis for water usage. Bills are mailed during the second week of January, March, May, July, September and November and payment is due 25 days after the billing date. A 10% penalty is applied if payment is not received by the due date regardless of when the payment was postmarked. Charges which are not paid may be subject to disconnection of service. Residents should contact the Village if they notice a discrepancy between the readings of the inside meter and the outside remote register. Also residents who are moving must call the Village to schedule an appointment for a final reading and provide information of the new water customer. Water bill questions should be directed to Barb Joyce in the Finance Department at 654-8181 extension 203. Water samples are taken at 10 residential locations throughout the Village and sent to an independent laboratory for monthly testing. 2008 Consumer Confidence Report - Water Quality The 2008 Consumer Confidence Report is available in PDF by clicking on the link below.
