Water Main Break on Faber Ave.

A water main break occurred in the 3900 block of Faber Ave. during the evening hours of 2/21/20.

Our public works crew was on scene and has now completed the repair.

Some areas may experience brown water from the system being stirred up. Hold off on doing laundry while the water is discolored to avoid staining.

The discoloration will clear up as more water is pulled through the system.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank You

A fire at Galena Park Terrace necessitated use of the fire hydrants in that area. Some areas may experience brown water from the system being stirred up. Do not do laundry while the water is discolored to avoid staining. The discoloration will clear up as more water is pulled through the system.

Freezing temps...Be prepared!

Did you know that your interior pipes can freeze?

Here are some helpful tips:

  1. Locate and insulate pipes in or near exterior walls or unheated interior spaces (attics, basements, garages.)

  2. Locate and exercise shut-off valves leading to the water meter.

  3. Let cold water drip from a faucet served by exposed pipes to prevent freezing during cold snaps.

  4. Keep the heat no lower than 55° F or winterize the pipes if you’re planning to be away during cold weather.

Coffee with the Mayor

Monday, February 17th

Peoria Heights Mayor Michael Phelan will host his “Coffee with the Mayor” at 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 17 at Village Hall located at 4901 N Prospect Rd

The public is welcome. Please feel free to come armed with questions.

Fundamentally, the mayor would like to have something of an informal dialogue, a give and take, with local residents regarding whatever issues they may have. How’s it been going in your neighborhood? What do you like about it? What don’t you like? What can the Village be doing to make things better?

Mayor Phelan is happy to address any concern. One topic he’d like to get into is the Village’s major initiative for 2020, the comprehensive plan being conducted with the assistance of Chicago-based urban planning consultant Houseal Lavigne and Peoria architectural firm Farnsworth Group. The mayor very much wants your input about how all of us can contribute to improving the place we call home.

There is no need for pre-registration. Just show up. Hope to see you there!
