Our office works alongside our residents and the Chicago Department of Water Management to identify residential sewers that need sewer inspection and/or cleaning to mitigate flooding. If there is a drain near you that you believe needs an inspection, please do not hesitate to call our ward office at (773) 887-3772. We also invite residents to do their part and utilize some of the helpful tips below to assist with stormwater management.
Spring / Summer Stormwater Management Tips:
- Don’t litter or dump anything in storm drains. Storm drains are for rain only.
- Avoid running a dishwasher or washing machine during storms.
- Use a commercial car wash or wash your car over grass or gravel instead of on a driveway or in the street.
- Use lawn fertilizers sparingly, follow product instructions, and sweep driveways and sidewalks after application.
- Do not dump fats/oils/greases in private drains.
- Install rain gardens, green landscaping, or trees in your yard to help retain rainwater.
- Resurface driveways, parking pads, or patios with permeable pavement.
- Disconnect your downspout from the sewer system. See DWM’s website for a guide on downspout disconnection.

It's a rainy week in Chicago! Make sure to check your block's sewer catch basin and clear it of any debris that may block drainage. As a reminder, the City installed intake restrictor valves in our sewers to slow down the speed at which water enters the sytem. That means that when there's too much rain your street is meant to temporarily flood to keep the sewer system from being overwhelmed and backing up into your basement. The water will normally drain in 1 to 2 days. If it doesn't, and you cleared the catch basin of debris, you should call our office 773.985.3510 to request a sewer inspection.

This past weekend, despite the heat, Nixon parents, Hermosa residents, and Alderman Ramirez-Rosa came together to build the new playground that will serve over 900 Nixon School families and thousands of children that call Hermosa home.
