If you live in unincorporated Cook County just outside Glenview, contact your township (Northfield, New Trier, Maine or Niles) for further information.

Water/sewer service

Contact the Resolution Center at (847) 724-3112 to set up a water and/or sewer account and to ensure that a final water read has already been scheduled by the previous owner/renter.
