HOW DO I . . .

- Waterway System -

The Village of Forest Park has a combined sewer system. The system captures both rain water and household waste. Heavy rains can cause the system to overflow. The Village of Forest Park has two overflow locations which are monitored by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD). The Village will be notified of a CSO event by the MWRD and we will make public notification of the event through our local press.

For more information on CSO events, or for information on Rain Barrels including how to purchase one, Please Click HERE to visit the MWRD.
