The Village of Morton website has a full list of departments, staff contacts, and downloadable forms. Checking the site before you call can save time, especially for basic questions about hours, fees, or how to pay a bill online.

The state website links to local government pages and can help you figure out if your issue falls under the village, the county, or a state agency.

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours. If you plan to visit for something specific like a building permit or a utility question, calling first is a good idea. Some departments keep shorter hours or need an appointment for certain types of requests.

Morton Public Works Phone Directory

The Morton Public Works Department handles a lot of ground. Streets, water distribution, wastewater treatment, gas lines, and storm water all fall under this division. The main contact number is 309-266-5361. For water or sewer emergencies, that same number works around the clock.

Morton is one of the few Illinois villages that operates its own gas distribution system. That means your gas bill goes through the village, not a private utility. Water service is also village-run. If you need to start, stop, or change utility service, call Village Hall. They can walk you through the steps and let you know about any deposits or fees.

For potholes, fallen trees, or blocked drains, call during business hours and describe the issue. Public works will send a crew if the problem is on village property. If it turns out to be a county or state road, they can tell you who to call instead. The village website also has an online form for reporting concerns.

Morton FOIA and Public Records

The Village of Morton follows the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) for all public records requests. You can submit a request to the Village Clerk by mail, in person at Village Hall, or through the village website. The village has five business days to respond under state law.

Phone directories, staff lists, department contacts, meeting minutes, and budget documents all count as public records. Most simple requests are free. If your request involves a large number of pages, the village may charge a small per-page copy fee. The clerk will let you know about any costs before they start copying. You do not need to explain why you want the records.

The Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205) requires Morton to keep and preserve its official records. That includes past phone directories, old staff lists, and archived department contacts. If you need something from a few years back, the clerk's office is where to start.

The state contact page can help if you need to find numbers for state agencies that operate above the village and county level.
