Our DuPage County and Bolingbrook Coverage Area
The DuPage Water Commission
Most DuPage cities buy Lake Michigan water through the Commission, which gets it from Chicago, and Bolingbrook also buys lake water through a regional supplier. Check your bill for your provider and its notices. The line from the meter and everything inside belong to the owner.
Postwar Homes and Added Rooms
Many homes from the 1950s through the 1970s have galvanized supply, cast iron drains and clay laterals, and added family rooms tap into old pipe. A written inspection before a purchase or remodel shows what remains.
Sump Pumps and Basement Floods
Heavy storms test every basement. Test the pump each spring, keep a battery backup and make sure downspouts discharge away from the house.
Trees, Roots and Clay Laterals
Mature trees send roots into old laterals. A camera run shows whether repeat clogs come from roots, a belly or a break.

Who offers emergency plumbing in DuPage County and Bolingbrook?
LocalPlumber.us connects you with vetted, insured local plumbers around the clock. Shut off the main valve if water is flowing, call, and give your ZIP code when prompted.
Where does DuPage County water come from?
Lake Michigan, through the DuPage Water Commission, which buys from Chicago. Your bill and annual report confirm the details.
Do postwar DuPage homes have old pipe?
Many from the 1950s through the 1970s do. A written inspection with a camera run shows what remains.
How do I protect a DuPage basement from flooding?
Test the sump pump each spring, keep a battery backup, clear gutters and consider a backwater valve.
Is water in this area hard?
Yes. Illinois water is hard, whether it comes from Lake Michigan or from deep wells, so scale builds in heaters. Flush tank heaters yearly and check your provider’s water quality report.
How do I protect pipes in an Illinois winter?
Insulate pipes in garages, crawlspaces and exterior walls, disconnect hoses, open cabinet doors on the coldest nights and know where the main shutoff is.
