Recognizing National Public Works Week

National Public Works Week is May 15-21 and this year’s theme is "Ready and Resilient". The "Ready & Resilient" theme highlights the ability of these professionals to perform routine public works duties while being ready at a moment's notice when emergencies and natural disasters arise.  

The Lombard Public Works Department plays a significant role in our daily lives, ensuring the roads are ready to use and water is of the highest quality and safe to drink. The department is responsible for construction, maintenance, and repair of the Village's infrastructure and grounds/facilities (i.e., repairing streetlights, filling potholes, trimming parkway trees, replacing damaged sidewalks); and street, water, and sewer related emergency services (i.e., water main breaks). Our Public works superheroes make our community such a great place to live and work! 

Recognizing National EMS Week

May 15-21, 2022, is the 47th annual National Emergency Medical Services Week. This year's theme is "EMS: Rising to the Challenge".

The Lombard Fire Department continues to be one of the busiest in DuPage County and requires all of its firefighters to be EMS certified. In 2021, the Lombard Fire Department responded to 7,420 calls for service. Of those calls, 5,684 were EMS runs.
