Anytime you turn on a faucet in your home, run the dishwasher or flush a toilet, that water runs out of your sanitary sewer line and into the City sewer. If your sanitary sewer line gets clogged, all of your drains and toilets will get backed up, too. Avoid unpleasant and potentially expensive plumbing problems by preventing clogs in your sewer line.

Thank you to all who took the 1st Street Plaza Expansion Survey, which was conducted to gauge opinions about expanding the plaza on the east into the grassy area at the southeast corner of Main & 1st streets. The response was overwhelming! 988 residents, business owners, and visitors completed the survey. We have reviewed the responses and read through 1,000+ written comments and are happy to share the results.
Did you see this beautiful view of Main Street during a weather segment on WGN-TV? Recently WGN-TV installed a WeatherBug camera to capture images and time lapse video of St. Charles as we weather the seasons. Thanks Mike Janssen! Check it out at https://www.weatherbug.com/weather-camera/

During the past year, Tri-City Ambulance has identified an increase in the number of 911 calls requesting medical assistance for a person experiencing a mental health/behavioral health emergency. Frequently the patient is not the one who has requested assistance. So when the ambulance, fire, and police arrive on the scene, the patient may not be accepting of assistance. In addition, Tri-City Ambulance is only able to transport patients to the emergency department, which is not always the correct treatment for the patient.
