Villa Park village manager urges residents to report storm damage after high winds

Village Manager Mike Rivas told residents on Wednesday that high winds overnight and in the early morning left trees and limbs down across Villa Park and that anyone who finds debris in parkways or streets should report it to the village.

"We obviously have trees down, limbs down," Rivas said, asking residents to call Villa Park Public Works at (630) 834-8505 to report fallen trees or branches obstructing streets or parkways. He added that trees or limbs resting on power lines should be reported to the utility.

Rivas gave a utility contact number in the meeting; the transcript lists it as 1803347661. Residents should call ComEd to report any wires or vegetation contacting power lines and avoid approaching such hazards.

Rivas said he lives one town away and is experiencing similar damage at his own property, including a downed fence and limbs, and closed by urging residents to take precautions and stay safe while addressing storm effects.
