National Police Week - May 14th to May 20th, 2023 |
In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls as National Police Week. National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
National Police Week offers honor, remembrance, and peer support while allowing law enforcement, survivors, and citizens to gather and pay homage to those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

Lawn Maintenance
The Village of Carol Stream seeks residents’ cooperation with the proper maintenance of grass and weeds. The Village’s Property Maintenance Code requires grass and weeds to be maintained below eight inches in height. When a Village inspector observes grass or weed growth taller than eight inches, a courtesy notice is posted near the front door of the home. The Notice asks the homeowner or resident to mow the grass and weeds. Property owners who fail to properly maintain grass and weed growth after being asked to do so may receive a citation, including a fine, from the Village.
On occasion, properties may become vacant without the necessary arrangements having been made for lawn maintenance. Residents who are aware that a property is vacant and not being maintained are encouraged to notify the Community Development Department. The Village will take steps to ensure proper maintenance of such properties. Sometimes, a group of neighbors will mow the lawn of a vacant property in their neighborhood, which may prevent the Village from knowing that the property is not being maintained by the responsible party. While we appreciate efforts to keep Carol Stream looking good, the Village can assist with ensuring that the responsible party maintains the property. Please contact Community Development at communitydevelopment@carolstream.org or call us at 630-871-6230.

Watering Restrictions
Because Lake Michigan is a limited water resource, we use outdoor watering restrictions to encourage conservation.
Village Code allows continuous landscape watering before 10:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m. on dates which match the last number of a resident's address. Properties ending in an even number can only water on even number dates (e.g., 752 Thunderbird Trail on June 14th) and properties ending in an odd number can water on odd number dates (e.g., 421 Cochise Court on July 3rd).
