Precipitation

Information on precipitation is gathered in four locations: rainfall at the Public Works Service Center, rainfall on the east side of the Village, the water level at Techny Basin and the water level of the West Fork of the Chicago River's North Branch (East Lake Avenue Bridge).

Readings are updated every 10 minutes. Data on precipitation, river level and Techny Basin level is provided for informational purposes only, and the Village of Glenview may not be held liable for any damages resulting from their use.
