Stormwater Utility Fee Town Hall Meetings

The Village of Libertyville is considering implementing a stormwater utility fee to finance the capital improvements identified in the Master Stormwater Management Plan. Residents and business can learn more about the proposed fee by visiting the Village’s stormwater utility fee web page here. This web page includes fee background, a list of frequently asked questions, and a tool that allows customers to lookup their property’s estimated stormwater utility fee amount. If adopted by the Village Board, the fee would go into effect on September 1, 2021.

The Village will be hosting two virtual town hall sessions in the coming weeks to review the proposed fee and stormwater capital improvement plan. The dates of the virtual town halls are:

-Thursday, January 28, 2021 at 7:00pm

The virtual meeting links are available at the link above and will also be shared on social media. In order to facilitate the virtual meeting participants are encouraged to submit questions or provide feedback in advance of the meeting by emailing stormwaterhelp@libertyville.com.
