Drainage

Excavator digging a trench for storm sewer installation, Village of Heyworth, ILThe Village of Heyworth Public Works Department is responsible for the storm sewers and roadside ditches in the community that remove storm water, sump pump discharges and downspout water from properties.  Typically the department undertakes 1 - 2 larger storm sewer projects each year to address drainage issues in the community.  These project range from the construction of new trunk sewers to the simple installation of a drain or cleaning a ditch.  If you have a drainage concern please feel free to report it here.  While we try to address as many problems as we can, there is not often time and budget to address all issues in a given year.
