Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over: Holiday Crackdown 

From Friday, Dec. 20 – Wednesday, Jan. 1, Lombard Police Officers will be out in full force, seeking out alcohol and drug-impaired drivers. Law enforcement will show zero tolerance for drunk or drugged driving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that from 2013 – 2017, there were 4,110 drunk-driving related deaths in the month of December.

Efforts to reduce impaired driving on our roads include an increased number of state and national messages about the dangers of impaired driving, combined with more officers enforcing live-saving seat belt, speeding and distracted driving laws.

Village Offices: Holiday Hours

Village of Lombard Offices will be closed on Tuesday, Dec. 24 and Wednesday, Dec. 25 in honor of the Christmas holiday, and on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020 for New Year’s Day. Additionally, Waste Management will be running on a one-day delayed schedule for both holidays.

Water Billing Changes January 1

As a reminder, water customers will experience changes to water bills effective January 1, 2020. 

• Bills will be visually redesigned to improve readability.
• Bills will be sent monthly on the 3rd and will be due on the 24th. 
• A new $5 capital fee will be implemented on each monthly bill. This revenue will help pay for Lombard’s aging infrastructure that needs to be replaced in order to continue to provide clean and safe drinking water into the future. 

Street Parking Requests Online

Planning on having guests visit this holiday season? Overnight street parking requests may be made online. 

As the weather gets colder, residents are reminded that street parking is not allowed at any time after a 1" snowfall to create clear passage for snowplows.
