Downspout Disconnection Program

Downspout Disconnection - It’s the Law

A mandatory downspout disconnection has been the law for several years in La Grange Park. All gutter downspouts must be disconnected from the combined sewer system at the point of sale of the home. This required disconnection is the responsibility of the seller of the home. The revised Village ordinance requires that all single family home disconnections  be completed by January 1, 2019, regardless if the home is sold or not.
