FYI - Naperville is opening a dam to release pressure and it will affect the downtown as follows: It is anticipated that DuPage County will be opening the Fawell Dam completely which will result in additional water coming downstream into downtown Naperville. When this occurs to ensure the safety of the public, the Washington Street, Main Street, and Eagle Street bridges over the DuPage River will be closed. It is also likely that water may overflow onto Chicago Avenue and Jackson Avenue and there is a possibility that businesses may experience some flooding. Sand and sand bags are available at Riverview Court, Centennial Beach and the 95th Street Library. People should bring shovels to fill their own bags. If people encounter standing water on streets at any location, they should not drive through the area. For their safety, employees and members of the public should stay away from ponds and the DuPage River. An interactive map showing closed and impassable roadways is continually being updated at www.naperville.il.us as well as the Flood Operations webpage at www.naperville.il.us/floodops.aspx.
