About Aurora

Aurora is a community of approximately 180,542 residents in DuPage County County, IL. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Local Considerations

  • Fox River flooding regularly impacts properties in the downtown and near-east historic neighborhoods during spring thaw and heavy rain seasons.
  • Rapid westward expansion created subdivisions with builder-grade construction that often develops premature foundation settling and drainage problems.

Water System

City draws water from deep wells and the Fox River with treatment at the Indian Trail Water Treatment Plant.

Emergency Access

I-88 provides east-west freeway access but the sprawling city footprint means some western neighborhoods require 20-plus minute response times.
