New Speed Limit Begins Today

The speed limit for residential neighborhood streets changes from 30 mph to 25 mph, effective today. The City’s Public Works Department crews will be changing out street signs throughout August to reflect the new speeds. Learn more about this change and which streets will not be changing on the City’s website.

Also, if you posted a “Drive 25” sign in your yard, please remember that it needs to be on private property, not in the parkway. (Typically, this means it should be behind the sidewalk, closer to your home.)

Join the Citizens Fire Academy

The Wheaton Fire Department invites residents to join the Citizens Fire Academy, a 7-week hands-on course where you learn how the Fire Department operates. Find out more about the program on the City’s website.

District Working to Manage Mosquitoes

In response to a positive West Nile virus mosquito pool and local human case, the Wheaton Mosquito Abatement District performed an adult mosquito control spraying in neighborhood of the reported human case and treated larval habitat via backpack services. Also, the DuPage County Fairgrounds and major parks were treated on July 25-27. All areas were treated on July 10 and 19. Future treatments will be determined by surveillance and WNV activity. Contact Clarke Mosquito Hotline at 1-800-942-2555 or wmad@clarke.com to report standing water or excessive biting annoyance.
