2026 Summer

Strong summer storms seem to appear without warning and can leave a path of debris.  Always have multiple ways to receive alert information such as your cell phone, text messages like Wireless Emergency Alerts, local radio and tv stations, NOAA weather radios, and outdoor sirens.  Know the difference between a watch and a warning.  Watches are meant to keep you alert with an eye on the sky.  While warnings are meant for you to act and look for cover.  Our road crews will be dispatched after the storms to first ensure that any obstructed roadways have been cleared.  If damage is extensive, road crews can then focus on collecting storm damage from private properties.  Please call to schedule a pickup.  We will only collect storm damage if the debris has been placed with branch or cut side facing the edge of the street.  If you have small brush or branches, please tie them with twine in bundles 4 ft. or less in length and 2 ft. or less in diameter.

We are in the process of completing our 2026 Capital Infrastructure Project to resurface the Forest Estates Subdivision.  Our pavement preservation program continued with the application of reclamite to last year’s project.  Reclamite is a maltene-based asphalt preservation treatment and provides the greatest long-term cost benefits when applied within 1-2 years of new construction.  It penetrates the surface to restore the chemical balance by replenishing lost maltenes, reducing viscosity, and reversing brittleness.  It extends pavement life by restoring essential chemical components lost during manufacturing and through oxidation.

Thank you once again for your continued support.  We continue to update our website and Facebook pages with information pertaining to permitting, the weather, upcoming and completed projects, and services we offer.  If you have any questions, concerns, or need any additional information regarding our services please feel free to email me at adelmar@palatinetownship-il.gov or call us at 847.358.6336
