Utilities & Services

Water

Municipal water is provided to the majority of residents, but some residents continue to rely on private wells for their water, because they either live in an area not served by the Village water system or they chose not to hook up to the system.  Residents serviced by a private well are required to have an annual system test and submit the results to the Village.  

If you are moving into a Riverwoods property, please contact Village Hall to set up your utility billing account or you can complete the resident listing form online.
