Western suburbs do not have the extent of issues that older East Coast suburbs do. My township had to install a five-mile long bypass line to deal with runoff issues that overflowed sanitary sewers. I doubt your suburb combined runoff and sanitary sewers, they learned from the mistakes that the East Coast made. We all have our crosses to bear, nature-wise. I type this as I look at my exterior thermometer which reads 110 Fahrenheit. I have a whole bunch of issues to deal with because of that. Now YOU go read up.
Puh-leeze, I have lived through all flavors of heat, including Texas and Oklahoma.
Philly HHH weather (hot, hazy and humid) ranks up on the misery factor with just about anything.
