With so many people at home due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Public Works Department would like to remind residents that only certain items should be flushed down the toilet. While toilet paper is perfectly flushable, other paper products and wipes should be thrown away with regular garbage, as they can cause sanitary sewer backups in the resident and/or Village sewer lines.Residents with questions can call the Public Works Department at (708) 444-5500.
