Fix a Leak Week: Save Water and Money at HomeThe Village encourages residents to take part in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Fix a Leak Week, taking place March 16 - 22, 2026. This annual initiative highlights how simple actions at home can help conserve water and reduce utility costs. Household leaks can waste nearly 1 trillion gallons of water nationwide each year, often from common sources like dripping faucets, running toilets and outdoor irrigation systems. Taking a few minutes to check for leaks can make a meaningful difference for your home and community. Residents are also encouraged to use the Village’s WaterSmart Portal to monitor water usage and set up leak alerts. This tool provides helpful insights to better manage water use and avoid unexpected costs.

New Water Tower Project Underway Near Yorktown MallConstruction is underway on a new 1.5-million-gallon elevated water tower along Butterfield Road, just east of Yorktown Mall. The project is part of the Village’s ongoing efforts to strengthen and modernize Lombard’s water system, particularly for areas south of Roosevelt Road. Water towers play an important role in maintaining consistent water pressure, meeting peak demand and providing a reserve supply during emergencies. The additional capacity was identified through long-term planning efforts and will support continued growth in the area while helping meet regional water system requirements. Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2027, with the tower anticipated to be operational in early 2028. The project is funded through a combination of a Rebuild Illinois grant, Butterfield TIF funds and the Village’s Water and Sewer Capital Reserve Fund.
