As you know, Schorsch Village and Chicago’s Northwest side was hit hard in the recent storm on September 11 with a
recorded 5 to 6 inches of rainfall in an hour in some areas! This large volume of heavy rain in a short period of time
overtaxed the City’s sewer system resulting in many homes getting water backup into their basements.
If you have experienced any sewer problem or backup, you can call 311 to record your address. This will help the City
evaluate the affected areas. Also, if you have any water damaged items that are being discarded, you should leave them
out for pickup where your normal garbage is picked up. Streets and Sanitation will be working hard to get these items.
