Applications are open for municipalities and local government entities to partner with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) on a variety of stormwater management projects to mitigate community flooding throughout Cook County.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was at the new Rocky Clark Legacy Field in Robbins, IL to officially open up the $2 million synthetic turf field. Robbins Mayor Darren Bryant and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District had big hands in making this field a reality.

The MWRD participated in the ribbon-cutting on a new athletic field in Robbins, IL. The new facility will serve as the new home of the Robbins CalPark Eagles.

The MWRD urges residents and business owners to conserve water with heavy rains in the forecast Thursday.

With impending rain, the MWRD encourages area residents and business owners to reduce water use during and after the storm to help prevent flooding and protect water quality:

The MWRD will raise the Juneteenth flag to honor and recognize Freedom Day on Monday, June 15, 2026, at 10 a.m.
