Residential Backflow Survey: Help Keep Deerfield’s Drinking Water Safe

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) requires all public water systems to operate an effective cross-connection control program. Cross connections can allow contaminants to enter the water system through “backflow” when water pressure drops and water reverses direction. Your cooperation helps protect the integrity of Deerfield’s water supply and the health of our community.

Please complete the Residential Cross-Connection/Backflow Survey so we can identify any potential cross connections at your property. You can submit by filling out the paper survey enclosed in your next water bill or complete it online at BSI Online, the Village’s contractor for cross-connection recordkeeping: bsionline.com/Deerfield

Backflow occurs when a drop in water pressure causes water to flow in the opposite direction, which can draw non-potable water into the drinking water system. Identifying and controlling cross connections is essential to prevent contamination.

For questions about the survey or cross-connection requirements, contact Steve Cutaia, Building Division Supervisor, at 847.719.7472 or scutaia@deerfield.il.us.

Thank you for helping us safeguard Deerfield’s water.

New Resident Guide Now Available

The Village has developed a New Resident Resource Guide that will be sent to residents when they set up a new utility account with the Village. The guide includes important phone numbers, information about Village services and special events, and an overview of other local government agencies that provide services within the Village. It’s great for residents who recently moved to Deerfield, as well as longtime residents who can use it as a helpful guide on everything the Village offers. Hard copies are available at Village Hall or find it online.
