Search continues for contractor missing in Downers Grove sewer drain after intense storms
Дата публикации: 28-07-2026 16:58:45
Editor’s Note: Authorities announced around 6:40 p.m. on Tuesday that the contractor was recovered from the sewer. Our latest coverage can be found here.
A contractor who went missing in a storm drain in Downers Grove had still not been found by the time an ongoing search finished for the day on Tuesday, authorities said.
Authorities said the search was wrapping up for the day around 4:30 p.m. and the missing contractor had not yet been found.
In an earlier update from Downers Grove authorities around 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, authorities said “recovery efforts continued overnight and into today.”
Authorities also said the efforts were focused in the storm sewer near Carpenter Street between Gilbert Avenue and Curtiss Street.
The missing contractor is one of two who went missing after becoming trapped in a sewer drain as intense storms that brought tornado warnings, hail and damaging winds pummeled the region on Monday. The other contractor was rescued on Monday and was transported to a local hospital in good condition.
The fire department said it transitioned from rescue to a recovery operation as of Monday evening, as water conditions within the sewer made additional search efforts “extremely dangerous.”
Footage captured during the search on Monday appeared to show multiple people being pulled from the storm drain near Washington Curtiss, though it was not clear if those were rescuers or the missing contractors. Some were seen being loaded onto stretchers.
The village said the contractors were part of a team working on a pipe rehabilitation project for them since 2025 through Houston-based company Vortex Lining Systems.
Both contractors were members of Laborers Union Local 68, the union confirmed.
