'Unusual' Flooding Hits Part of Hinsdale: Village

HINSDALE, IL — The northeastern part of Hinsdale suffered from "extensive" flooding beginning about 1 p.m. Saturday, the village said in a statement Monday.

The village said it was working with its engineering firm, HR Green, and the Illinois Tollway to determine the cause of "this unusual event."

"While we do not have many answers right now, please know that we are doing what we can to identify the cause of the flooding," the village said.

If you incurred property damage as a result of the flooding, email HinsdaleOutreach@villageofhinsdale.org.

In March, the Hinsdale Village Board joined forces with the Illinois Tollway to spend $31,000 in taxpayer money on a flood study in northeastern Hinsdale.

Officials said they had little hope the study would provide an affordable solution.
