Richmond Premise Alert Program

Richmond Premise Alert Program

The Illinois Premise Alert Program (Public Act 96-0788) allows people with special needs to provide information to police, fire, and EMS personnel to be stored in a database for use in an emergency situation.  The information can then be provided to responders dealing with situations involving the special needs individuals.

The information provided will be kept confidential and used only to provide police, fire, and EMS personnel with the information needed to deal with situations or emergencies involving a special needs person.  The information will expire two (2) years after the date it was submitted and will no longer be maintained in the database.  You may update or renew it at any time by completing and submitting the form below.

Individuals must understand that the information provided to the Premise Alert Program will not result in any type of preferential treatment to the individual and that the Village of Richmond, its police department, nor any other resounding agencies will not be held liable for duties relating to the reporting of special needs individuals.

For the purposes of the Premise Alert program “disability” and “special needs individual” are defined as:

“Disability” means an individual’s physical or mental impairment substantially limits one or more of the major life activities: a record of such impairment; or when the individual is regarded as having such an impairment.

“Special needs individuals” means those individuals who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by individuals generally.

Fall 2024 Hydrant Flushing 9/3/24 – 9/6/24

September 3rd – September 6th, 2024

The Richmond Public Works Department will be performing seasonal hydrant flushing throughout town. This is a controlled procedure that is vital to the general maintenance of the Village’s water distribution system.

During hydrant flushing, some loss of pressure and discoloration of water may occur. The water may temporarily appear rust-colored because the iron and other mineral deposits in the water mains get stirred up. There is no health hazard associated with discolored water. Water is safe to use and consume during hydrant flushing, however it may stain laundry. Residents are urged to avoid doing any laundry when hydrants are scheduled to be flushed in your area. If water is discolored, wait until flushing has subsided in your area then run a cold water tap until the water runs clear.

If you have any questions regarding the hydrant flushing program, or when flushing will occur in your neighborhood, please contact Richmond Public Works at publicworks@richmond-il.com.
