DEMOLITION NOTIFICATION
PROCEDURES FOR
PUBLIC WORKS
1. Public Works requires no less than 48 hours notice
prior to demolition so that water services can be shut off
at the Buffalo-box, and the meter can be removed and
secured.
2. All contact regarding these notifications should go
through either the Public Works Director or Assistant
Director at (847) 229-4600.
3. Public Works requires notification for any permanent
structure that is being taken down that has active or
abandoned water or sewer service.
4. The only significant inspection that we require is
during the phase of service line removal where the
contractor has removed said service from the Village's
main line. This inspection must be completed before the
contractor begins to backfill their excavation.
Some additional points of concern:
1. Regarding any language referencing where services
are to be disconnected, we would like the phrase "at
the point of connection to the Village main line"
used to properly pinpoint the exact location of
separation.
2. Again, we must inspect the disconnect before the
contractor backfills.
3. The contractor is responsible for the removal of the
buffalo-box following our inspection of the disconnect and
approval to do so.
4. If the property is slated for redevelopment the sewer
line must be televised before it can be reinstated.
Appointments are available through Public Works. This
requirement is only appropriate assuming the existing
sewer service line remains of adequate size and location
for the new structure.
