Most permit applications can be started online through the village website before you come in to the office.

Brookfield Public Works

The Public Works Department keeps the village running behind the scenes. They handle streets, water and sewer lines, snow removal, forestry, and fleet maintenance. Public Works can be reached through the main village number at 708-485-7344.

Water and sewer issues often need a fast response. If you have a water main break or sewer backup, call the main number right away. After hours, the police non-emergency line at 708-485-8131 can get a crew dispatched. Brookfield runs its own water system, so billing and service questions go through Village Hall rather than a separate utility company.

Garbage and recycling follow a set weekly schedule that depends on where you live in the village. The public works team also handles leaf pickup in the fall and brush collection throughout the year. Check the village website for your specific pickup day. If your trash was missed, call public works and they will send someone back out.

Street repairs and pothole reports can be submitted through the village website or by phone. They try to patch most potholes within a few days of getting a report, weather permitting.
