Water Main Flushing   

The village will be performing its semi-annual water main flushing operations in May of 2021.  This is a necessary maintenance procedure intended to clear water mains of rust deposits and to check fire hydrants for proper operation.

Residents are encouraged to refrain from doing laundry during the above-indicated times, as rust stains could potentially damage clothing.

We regret any inconvenience these operations may cause, and thank the residents and businesses of Villa Park in advance for their patience.  If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Village of Villa Park Public Works Department at (630) 834-8505.

Drop it and Drive

Drop it and Drive 

The Villa Park Police Department urges drivers to drop their phones and focus on the road with a not-so-subtle reminder: “Phone in One Hand. Ticket in the Other.”

“It has become all too common to see people driving down the road while looking at their phones,” said Sgt. James Cihak. “People know texting and driving is both dangerous and illegal, but they do it anyway, putting themselves and others at risk. During April, you will see increased law enforcement efforts as officers stop and ticket anyone who violates distracted driving and other Illinois motor vehicle laws.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 26,004 people died in U.S. crashes involving a distracted driver between 2012 and 2019.

The distracted driving campaign is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation with federal traffic safety funds.
