Covid-19 Vaccination Information and Registration

If you have not yet registered with the Lake County AllVax Portal to sign up to get vaccinated, please take a moment to do so now by clicking here. Cook County launched a vaccine registration website that residents can join by clicking here. The State has launched a vaccine location map that shows local pharmacies and other health providers that are also vaccinating the public outside of the County programs in place. Residents should check out the map frequently as new locations will be added frequently. You can find it by clicking here.

Public Works Ready for Snow

The Village’s Public Works Department is prepared for snow and is able to effectively clear Deerfield’s 70 center-line miles of roadway quickly to make safe travel possible for all who use our streets. To assist your neighbors and Village staff this winter, please remember the following:

Keep vehicles off the street to assist plows and salt trucks in clearing the streets more effectively.
Vehicles cannot be parked on the street for 24 hours after two inches of snow have fallen, per Village ordinance.
By Village ordinance, you may not deposit snow from your property onto the street or sidewalk. This can hinder safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians and make it harder for Village plow crews to keep streets clear. If using a snow removal service, please instruct contractors to abide by Village regulations.
Please be a good neighbor and shovel and clear the sidewalks in front of your home for pedestrian safety. If you have neighbors who are unable to clear their sidewalk or you love getting to use your snow blower, make your neighbors’ day by clearing theirs, as well.
Remember to shovel an extra area on your driveway apron or parkway for your refuse and recycling bins to be picked up by Waste Management.

Adopt-a-Hydrant

The Village of Deerfield has a program to ensure that firefighters can access fire hydrants during an emergency. In the winter months, heavy snowfall makes finding and accessing fire hydrants difficult, and every second counts during an emergency. We are asking residents, business owners and community groups to consider participating in the Adopt-A-Hydrant Program. Participants get to name their hydrant to show their commitment to public safety.

Participation involves the following:

Ensuring the adopted fire hydrant is clearly visible from the street.
Keeping the fire hydrant free of snow and ice. Snowfall and associated plowing activities can often hide hydrants under large amounts of snow, making them difficult to locate quickly in the event of an emergency.
Keeping clearances of at least three feet all around the hydrant. Please use caution when shoveling.
Keeping the hydrant free of grass, weeds and debris.

Local Teens Needed for TeenConnect Program

Deerfield’s TeenConnect program aims to connect teens who are able to do outside yard work, including raking leaves and shoveling snow, with Deerfield residents who need the service.

The TeenConnect list provides contact information for Deerfield teens including the name and phone number of the teen, days of availability, type of work they are willing to do and their expected rate of pay.

Right now, the Village is especially looking for teens to add to the list. For more information, contact Communications Coordinator David Fitzgerald-Sullivan at dfitzgerald@deerfield.il.us or 847.719.7400.
