Village to Present Flood Study Findings at Meeting Next Week

Submitted by the village of Arlington Heights

The village will be hosting a meeting on January 20th at 7:30 PM in the Board Room at 33 S. Arlington Heights Road. The purpose of the meeting will be to present the findings of a study recently performed on the Village’s Combined Sewer System.

The study was performed by CDM Smith Engineering and discusses the performance of the Village’s Sewer System that geographically lies south of Palatine Road and north of Central Road.

The meeting will consist of a presentation of the report findings by the Village’s consultant. After the presentation, breakout sessions will be conducted in which the report is broken down by neighborhoods. Exhibits will be on hand to make it easier for residents to see potential improvements identified in the report.

Village staff will be present to take notes and moderate the sessions. The report is in a “final draft version” and will not be finalized until the Village Board and residents have had time to review the report and provide input. The Village Board will not be taking any action at this meeting.

A second study which investigated problem areas north of Palatine Road and south of Central Road (in separated sewer areas) will be presented with the same meeting format on February 3rd. This draft report will not be discussed at the January 20th meeting.

The following is the Executive Summary of the report: Flood Study Executive Summary
