The village office will keep track of hook-ups through the use of permits that will be issued for each property. A permit application will be filled out for each property. When the application is approved and the portion of the village is released for hook-up, a permit will be issued to proceed with work at that location. The permit should be displayed in the window, visible from the road. The permit will be submitted to the village inspector, completed, and returned to the village office for record keeping purposes.
The village will be inspecting materials used, sewer connections, cleanout, and septic tank abandonment. When your project is complete and ready to be inspected, contact the village office at (815) 694-2273 to be put on the list for inspection. Caution tape / rope off and leave exposed the areas that will be inspected until approved. Be advised, if the area is covered with fill before inspection, it will need to be uncovered again before inspection can proceed. Office hours are Monday thru Friday 8:00 – 11:00 a.m. Inspections will be conducted Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Please note, sewer system is for building sanitary sewer service only. Sump pump discharges, storm drainage, gutter/downspout connection, foundation perimeter drains, and yard drainage connections are not allowed.
