Robbins shifts water payments to police department; village hall work expected to finish by July
Summary
Mayor Darren E. Bryant told trustees that in-person water payments and permits will be handled at the police department during regular business hours while other departments operate from the community center; officials said the village hall construction should be finished by late July with a hoped-for reopening by Labor Day.
Mayor Darren E. Bryant said at the June 25 Village of Robbins meeting that the water department will be operational on the police department's first floor for in-person water payments and permits during business hours, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. He said other village departments will operate from the Community Center at 13800 Trumbull Ave., and residents can continue to pay water bills online via Epay or by mail.
The mayor reiterated that a community center request for proposals (RFP) is posted and that general-contractor bidding has closed. "The village hall should be complete by the end of July and hopefully will be back open by Labor Day," Mayor Bryant said, describing the construction timeline.
Trustee Michael Collier Sr. reiterated that Robbins remains temporarily on Alsip water lines and said testing will be done before the village switches back to its own supply. He urged residents to stay current on water bills while the temporary arrangement is in place.
The meeting also included practical reminders: the Robbins Fire Department will assist residents with free smoke detector installations, and officials asked residents to contact the building department before starting projects to ensure compliance with village regulations and to avoid fines.
The board moved into closed session later in the meeting; no formal vote on water-service policy changes was recorded in open session.
