As a reminder, the Village has twelve outdoor sirens to warn residents to move indoors and seek shelter in the event of a tornado warning. This siren is only activated when the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for Gurnee. In the event of a tornado warning, the system will sound a VOICE MESSAGE & SIREN. The siren system is intended to be heard only while outdoors. Indoor warnings are relayed through television and radio. During severe weather, additional information can be received by tuning your radio to WKRS 1220 AM or STAR 102.3 FM and through the Village’s Emergency Alert System. When the sirens are activated, residents should NOT call 911 and just seek shelter and monitor local emergency broadcast stations.

There is a threat for strong (EF-2+) tornadoes across northern Illinois this afternoon between 4 and 8 PM. The highest threat will be in the dark red shaded area. This area has shifted farther south than previously forecast. Take tornado warnings seriously, and have multiple ways to get warning information today.

06/10/2026

A friendly reminder from the Gurnee Public Works Department, residents with in-ground lawn irrigation systems are required to have backflow prevention devices installed on them. These devices protect you and the public water supply from possible contamination from hazardous chemicals or solvents that could come in contact with an underground irrigation system.

These backflow devices must be properly maintained and tested annually by a licensed plumbing contractor certified to perform this type of work. Not only does this protect the safety of the public water supply, but it is also the law in Illinois. Please do your part and have your device maintained and tested annually. Also be advised that the Village has contracted with Backflow Solutions Inc. (BSI) to administer the backflow tracking program, therefore all test reports must be submitted via BSI Online at www.bsionlinetracking.com. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the Public Works Department at 847-599-6800.
