LaSalle County has not adopted stormwater or drainage ordinances; therefore the County is unable to provide assistance with neighbor disputes involving stormwater or drainage. Remedies may be available through civil enforcement of the Illinois Drainage Law. Property owners should consult their attorneys for legal advice in matters involving Illinois Drainage Law.
