Update on the DuPage County Stormwater Elmhurst quarry update came today for the first water diversion event of 2024 this past weekend.

"Beginning late Saturday night July 13 and continuing through Tuesday night July 16, much of DuPage County received sudden and intense bouts of rainfall from three separate rain events. Rainfall totals across the County ranged from 2.5 inches to 6.3 inches over the course of three days, which triggered the manual operation of the Elmhurst Quarry, Spring Creek Reservoir, and Armstrong Park flood control facilities, as well as many smaller gravity-operated systems. These facilities helped to divert nearly 163 million gallons of stormwater away from residential areas. That’s the equivalent of 2.9 million rain barrels filled! This is the first major facility operation since 2022."
