Crime Alert
Palos Park Police are following up on an apparent Ruse Burglary attempt that took place just before 5:00 pm in the 9000 block of 119th Street.
The burglary attempt occurred when an individual (male/masked) approached a senior at the front of her home, posing as a worker from a road crew on 119th, asking for "warm water to prepare for the roadwork on 119th." The victim reported that a male with a mask on approached her and identified himself as a utility worker needing warm water. A second male waited in a blue SUV or pickup truck. The alert victim, suspecting this to be an attempt to lure her outside her home, locked her door and called 911.
A ruse burglary involves someone at your door attempting to lure you outside or to an isolated area so another individual can enter your home and steal cash, jewelry, and other valuables. PPPD urges residents to avoid falling prey to these attempts by doing the following:
- Never allow anyone inside your home without a prescheduled appointment
- If an individual claims affiliation with local government, ask the person to provide identification, and call the government office to verify
- Do not exit your home with an unscheduled visitor
- Keep a close watch on elderly neighbors and family members
- Educate relatives and neighbors about these ruse burglaries
- report any suspicious activities to police immediately

RPZ Testing Required by September 30
If you have an automatic sprinkler system you have an RPZ – Back Flow Prevention Device that needs to be tested annually. A sprinkler company or plumber who is registered with the Village of Palos Park, licensed by the State of Illinois and certified in back-flow inspection, testing, and repair must complete the testing.
The Illinois Pollution Control Board (IPCB) regulations require an active program of cross-connection control whether your sprinkler is connected to Lake Michigan Water or Well Water. The regulations prevent the contamination of all public water supply systems or potential water supply sources such as existing wells due to backflow of contaminants or pollutants through the potable water service connection. The Village of Palos Park, in order to comply with the IPCB and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), has adopted Ordinance No. 1048.01 which not only provides for installation of a back-flow prevention device but also requires yearly testing and certification of such devices. Please have your tester send the inspection forms to Village of Palos Park, 8999 W. 123rd Street, Palos Park, Ill. 60464 Attention: Public Works, or fax number 708-448-9542, or e-mail to lglazier@palospark.org .
If you have any questions, please contact Palos Park Public Works at 708-671-3721. If you are not operating your sprinkler system this year you must send a picture of the disconnected pipe where the RPZ valve should have been installed. Pictures must be e-mailed by September 30, 2021 to lglazier@palospark.org.
