Providence Village Drainage Inspections

Over the last several years, the Village of Gurnee has received a number of complaints regarding erosion and drainage concerns within Providence Village. To further study these concerns, Village Engineering staff began inspecting the large backyard and side yard drainage swales in January 2018 for properties south of Middle Road, and then continued the inspections to properties north of Middle Road in September 2018.

As potential drainage issues are discovered, Village Staff Engineers and engineering consultants are putting together recommendations on how to improve drainage in these areas. To help visualize the recommendations, the following map is available: http://webmaps.gurnee.il.us/ProvidenceVillageDrainage/index.html

Recommendations for properties south of Middle Road can be found at the link below. Recommendations for properties north of Middle Road will be published once the findings are determined.

Providence Village Subdivision Drainage Improvements - North of Middle

This past year, Gurnee Engineering began inspecting drainage concerns south of Middle Road to provide recommendations for improving drainage. To further study these concerns, Village Engineering staff and Village consultants will be inspecting the large backyard and side yard drainage swales in Providence Village, north of Middle Road, in the coming weeks. To accomplish this inspection, Village staff and consulting engineers will be accessing yards through drainage easements. The individuals performing the drainage inspections will be marked with a "Gurnee Engineering" safety vest and will have a photo ID card available upon request. Upon completion of this inspection, a list of recommendations will be prepared and presented to the subdivision at a later public meeting. Information regarding this meeting will be forthcoming. Please forward any questions or concerns to the Engineering Division at 847-599-7550.
