Winter Weather Regulations and Information

The Chicago Heat Ordinance requires temperatures in residential buildings to be at least 68°F from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and at least 66°F from 10:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. If that is not the case in your home, please call 311 immediately to schedule a heat inspection and to have the City enforce the law.

Second, the City's snow plow tracker can be found here. All plows are equipped with GPS technology so you can follow the City's progress clearing the streets in real time.

Third, make sure to shovel sidewalks adjacent to your residences and businesses. It's not just a courtesy, it's the law! While shoveling, please be mindful of the many residents who are unable to shovel their sidewalks. They rely on the kindness of neighbors and local organizations to make the sidewalks safe for everyone. If you would like to volunteer to shovel for those in need, you can be added to the City's shoveling list by calling my office at 773-373-9273 and we will do our best to match you with a resident in need.

Sewer Lining Notification - 33rd, 34th, Prairie, St. Lawrence

Please be informed that the Department of Water Management is in the process of issuing a sub-order to their Contractor Inliner Solutions formally known as Granite Construction Co. and will be working in the following project locations rehabilitating the existing sewer sections within the 3rd Ward. Once they have finalized the Notice to Proceed Letter, Alderman Dowell's office will follow up with a start date and a completion date for when all work is to be completed.

• E 33RD BLVD FROM S INDIANA AVE TO S PRAIRIE AVE
• E 34TH ST FROM S MICHIGAN AVE TO S INDIANA AVE
• S PRAIRIE AVE FROM E 32ND ST TO E 33RD BLVD
• S ST LAWRENCE AVE FROM E 47TH ST TO E 48TH ST

The rehabilitation work includes cleaning the sewers and the installation of CIPP (Cure-in-place pipe). The installation of CIPP consists of lining the existing sewers and generally does not require excavation except when repairs are required before lining the sewer main, catch basin lateral connections, catch basin structures, or manhole structures.

Typical work includes the following:

• Main sewer cleaning and televising
• Catch Basin (drainage structures on the curbside) cleaning, televising, and lining of the pipe connections to the main sewer
• Catch Basin and Sewer Manhole structures lining
• Main Sewer Lining immediately followed by the reinstatement of house drain services and catch basin pipe connections
• The lined sewer will be televised to ensure that the work was done properly

The work is scheduled to begin TBD and is scheduled to be completed by TBD. Please note that work is performed in staggered stages, therefore workers will not be on-site every day for the extended period described. As they begin lining the main sewers, residents will be provided with a letter/flyer with a notification of the work for each project location. No parking signs will be posted in the immediate area a workday before the start of any scheduled work. It will be necessary to close some lanes, but the streets will remain open to traffic.
