Lombard Fire Department Receives Life-Saving Award
The Lombard Fire Department has been named First Runner-Up for the prestigious Hartmann Award, presented annually by Good Samaritan Hospital to recognize excellence in emergency medical care within the Good Samaritan EMS System.
The Lombard Fire Department received this recognition following a critical emergency call involving a 17-year-old male patient experiencing a severe asthma attack, which had progressed to loss of consciousness and inadequate breathing. Responding paramedics from Lombard implemented multiple advanced life support (ALS) interventions, including the administration of critical medications and the performance of endotracheal intubation—a life-saving procedure that secures a patient’s airway for mechanical ventilation.
Thanks to the decisive actions and clinical expertise of the paramedics, the patient’s condition was stabilized, resulting in a positive outcome.

Solicitor Information
Did you know that all solicitors in the Village of Lombard require a permit? Solicitors must apply for and be approved for a permit to solicit in the Village. A list and photos of the solicitors currently holding a permit to solicit within the Village are listed on the Village website.
Additionally, door-to-door solicitors within the Village must honor "No Solicitors" signs and should have a visible badge/credentials and a valid Village permit. A Village solicitor badge indicates that the solicitor is licensed and registered with the Village, but is not an endorsement of the individual, company, products or services.
If there is a problem with an unpermitted solicitor or one who does not honor "No solicitors" signs, residents should call 911.

Large Diameter Combined Sewer Project Update – May 2025
The Village’s Large Diameter Combined Sewer Project is progressing on schedule, with current work taking place in the rear yards of the Green Valley Subdivision (bounded by Hickory, Washington, Park, and Elizabeth Streets). Crews will continue west along West Hickory Street toward Finley Road once this phase is complete.
This project uses trenchless technology to reduce the need for excavation. However, access to underground infrastructure is still required through existing manholes, including those located in roadways. As a result, the intersection of South Elizabeth Street and West Hickory Street will be temporarily closed for just under one month. Favorable weather and project conditions may allow the closure to end sooner.

National Public Works Week: May 18-24
National Public Works Week is May 18-24, and this year’s American Public Works Association (APWA) theme is "People, Purpose, Presence." This theme shines a spotlight on the qualities that public works professionals bring to their jobs every day. Communities may not take much notice of the dedication of public works professionals because they quietly do their jobs without fanfare. Yet, public works is always there, working behind the scenes to advance quality of life for all.
Our very own Lombard Public Works Department maintains 290 miles of roadway, 184 miles of water main, 151 miles of sanitary sewers, 123 miles of storm sewers, 3,390 street lights, 37 traffic signals, 36 facilities, 220 miles of sidewalks and over 19,000 parkway trees. Public works staff ensures the highest quality and safety of our drinking water, oversees construction projects, and is always prepared to address street, water, and sewer-related emergencies at a moment's notice.
