Lombard, IL – As autumn leaves continue to fall, the Village of Lombard is urging residents to help keep local streets and storm drains clear to prevent flooding.
According to the Village’s Public Works Department, keeping leaves and yard debris out of roadways helps reduce the risk of street flooding and protects nearby waterways from blockages and contamination.
Lombard’s street sweeping program operates two sweepers that rotate through the village’s 278 miles of streets. Officials said it typically takes two to three weeks to complete one full pass through the community.
Residents are encouraged to regularly clear leaves and debris from curbs, gutters, and drains between sweepings to maintain water flow and avoid backups, especially during periods of heavy rain.
