Make a Game Plan for a Safe Super Bowl Weekend

As we head into Super Bowl weekend, the Lombard Police Department is reminding football fans and Super Bowl partygoers that designated drivers are the best defense against the dangers of impaired driving. If your Super Bowl celebration involves alcohol or cannabis, plan for a ride home with a sober driver. If you host a party, take care of the designated drivers. Fans do not let fans drive drunk. 

To reinforce this message, additional patrols and traffic safety enforcement will be conducted from Friday, February 6, through the early morning hours of Monday, February 9.

Manage Your Water Bill and Track Usage Online with WaterSmart 

Residents can easily manage their water account and track real-time water usage through the Village’s WaterSmart Portal. This convenient online tool allows users to monitor daily water use, sign up for leak alerts, receive water-saving tips, and compare their usage with neighborhood averages, helping you stay informed and avoid surprises on your bill. 

To make payments even more convenient, residents can enroll in AutoPay, which securely deducts monthly water bills directly from a bank account. AutoPay helps you avoid late fees and eliminates the need for in-person visits. Sign up for free through the WaterSmart Portal.
