There is nowhere else where you can visit an Indian restaurant, a Kosher bakery, and a Muslim bookstore all within a few blocks. If you live here, you know how great it is. If you don’t, come on up and see what the 50th Ward has to offer!”
Alderman Debra Silverstein

The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the Chicago area through 9:00 PM today. Due to the severe storm, the Water Reclamation District has declared today as an Overflow Action Day. Help prevent basement backups and sewer overflows by reducing your water use.
Here are three easy ways that you can help reduce the amount of water in the sewer system:
• Delay showers and baths
• Flush less frequently
• Wait to run the dishwasher or washing machine
