19th Ward Residents Invited To Basement Flooding Seminar

Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) and President Mariyana Spyropoulos of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District are hosting a seminar for 19th ward residents on reducing and understanding basement flooding.

Residents will walk away with a better understanding on why their basements flood and steps they can take in reducing flooding risks on their property.

The Historic Chicago Bungalow Association is also a co-host. Learn how to be better prepared for the “100-year storms” that may deluge the Southwest Side and suburbs this spring and summer.

The seminar starts at 7 p.m. June 3, at the Beverly Arts Center, 2407 W. 111th St., Chicago. Residents can also request a free rain barrel(s) for their homes.

RSVP online at the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association or call 312-675-0300, ext 10.
