A Message from the Highway Commissioner

Being the Highway Commissioner of Schaumburg Township is a rewarding experience as we continue the proud tradition of providing excellent services to our un-incorporated residents. A frequent question which I encounter from residents of the municipalities is "why should I pay road district taxes". A little known fact is that half of the levied taxes are returned to the municipalities for their public works departments. Our staff will continue to provide the high caliber of service to which the residents of the unincorporated area have become accustomed. If you have any concerns regarding our department please do not hesitate to contact me at SKegarise@schaumburgtownship.org.

Rain Barrels

The Township Highway Department is offering rain barrels for purchase and delivery to Township residents for $55.00 per barrel. The barrels can help save money on your water bill by conserving rainwater from downspouts for later use. They also reduce the downstream load on the local watersheds. The rain barrels hold 55 gallons and are 36″ in height. They come complete with all brass spigot, nuts, and gasket with standard garden hose connection. They have a powder coated stainless steel screen; child proof locking lid with screws; two sided connectable overflow hose with hose clip; overflow connecting feature to the second barrel and installation and maintenance instructions. All barrels come unassembled. Installation is not included. Delivery could take 2-3 weeks. Residents do not need to be home for delivery.

Payment and reservation can be made online here. Residents can also reserve and purchase barrels by completing this form and submitting payment at the Township building in the Clerk’s Office. Call (847) 884-0030 for more information.
