The Village of South Holland is attacking our flood problems on several fronts. These include:
We adopted a comprehensive Floodplain Management Plan to guide Village activities.
Our Public Works crews maintain the stream channels, ditches, sewers and inlets.
Our Planning and Development Department ensures that flood and sewer backup protection measures are incorporated in new construction, improvements and repairs.
Our flood protection activities have been recognized by FEMA’s Community Rating System. We are one of the few communities in the area that participate in this program, which brings reduction in flood insurance premiums of up to 25%.
