- Residential Sewer Backup Prevention Program
The Residential Sewer Backup Prevention Program helps residents eliminate repetitive sanitary sewer backups in their basements. It provides partial reimbursement for repairs that consist of rerouting basement-level sanitary sewer drains to an ejector pump.
Qualifying repairs will be reimbursed 75% of the repair costs up to a maximum of $8,000.
Before applying, please call the Public Works Department at 630-260-2110 to determine whether your repair qualifies for reimbursement. More information, a pre-qualification form, and an application are contained in the Residential Sewer Backup Prevention Program Packet (PDF).
