Do Not Use Illegal Fireworks

The Police Department reported that calls for illegal use of fireworks increased tenfold over the July 4 holiday weekend compared to other July 4 weekends. While some see use of illegal fireworks as a harmless activity, it is inconsiderate, dangerous and negatively impacts our community, especially people with PTSD and pet owners.

The Village thanks residents who celebrated safely.

Open Does Not Mean Over

As we move through the phases of the Restore Illinois plan, we have made great progress in slowing the spread of COVID-19. The pandemic is not over. COVID-19 is still in our community. Let’s continue taking steps to keep ourselves and others safe – face coverings and social distancing.

2020 Census Reminder

Keep up the good work, Deerfield. As of yesterday 82.1 percent of households have responded to the 2020 Census. This brings the Village close to the 84.5 percent that responded in 2010. If you have not yet responded, click here to take it now.

Deerfield Village-Wide Drainage Study

The Village has hired Christopher B. Burke Engineering to conduct a Village-wide drainage study and a storm water master plan. The scope of the master plan includes studying and analyzing the existing storm sewer system, building and confirming a hydrologic / hydraulic model, determining flood reduction projects, the preparation of a Village wide drainage study report, and exploring the possible validity of a future storm water utility fee. The ability to accurately understand the Village’s stormwater deficiencies and its future stormwater improvements will allow for the proactive planning and improvement to such areas.

During July, Christopher B. Burke Engineering will also be collecting information from residents to verify the results of this analysis and developing alternatives to mitigate flooding and increasing storm sewer capacity through know problem areas.  Resident and business owner feedback is critical to the success of this project. Click here to learn more.
