SOUTH LYONS TOWNSHIP SANITARY DISTRICT |
The South Lyons Township Sanitary District originated in 1959 as
the Countryside Sanitary District. After the City’s incorporation in
1960, the name was changed to the South Lyons Township Sanitary
District to avoid public confusion between the sanitary district and
the City. The district was formed as a result of a 1959 special
election. The district services Wards 1 and 3 in the City of
Countryside and the southern part of LaGrange starting at 50th
Street.
The District is governed by a three-member Board of Trustees
elected by the voters within our district. The Board meets once a
month, generally on the third Thursday of each month, in the District's
offices located in Countryside. Board meetings are open to the
public.
The District is a taxing body. Though most of the revenue for
operations is generated from user charges, based on water
consumption. A small portion of the District's revenue comes from
permit fees.
The District has about 20 miles of sewer lines, 504 manholes of
which 54 are private and 450 are public, and 2 lift stations. We
service approximately 1221 Residential, 40 Industrial, and 214
Commercial properties. Relative to age, about 15% of the lines are
less than 25 years old, and 85% of the lines are more than 50 years
old.
