Village Completes Major Sewer Rehabilitation Project The Village recently completed a $15 million rehabilitation of a key section of Lombard’s largest combined sewer system. Originally built in the 1920s, this 7.5 to 9-foot diameter sewer runs from Lombard Common to the Glenbard Wastewater Authority and has served the community for more than a century. Over the past two years, the Village restored 2.1 miles of this large-diameter sewer, improving reliability, helping protect homes and businesses, and strengthening our infrastructure to continue serving Lombard for generations to come.

Village Board Adopts Budget and Tax Levy Amendments The Lombard Village Board approved the 2026 Budget Ordinance, totaling $123,379,037, along with the 2025 Tax Levy Ordinance in the amount of $12,474,037, at their meeting on Dec. 4, 2025. As part of the approval, the Board amended the tax levy so that the increase applies only to new construction. As a result of this action, the Village’s portion of the property tax levy for existing homeowners will remain the same as last year. Only newly built or newly added construction will see an increase in the Village portion of their tax bill. Residents are reminded that overall property tax bills may still change based on assessments or tax rates from other taxing bodies in the community. The Board’s decision demonstrates the Village’s focus on careful budgeting, efficient operations, and reducing impacts on residents where possible. For more information about the Village’s budget process or tax levy, visit www.villageoflombard.org/budget or www.villageoflombard.org/propertytax.
