Resurface · Take Action
In most of the Chicago area, rainwater shares pipes with the water from your drains. When storms hit, every bit of conservation keeps sewers from backing up into streets, basements, and the river.
We’ll tell you when a storm is coming so you can ease up on water use — before, during, and after the rain.

Stormwater · Rain Barrels
Rain barrels capture rainwater from your roof for later use, helping prevent basement backups, street flooding, and sewer overflows by keeping rainwater out of the sewer system. Use the water to care for your lawn or garden, or to clean work boots, tools, and bikes.
