Mount Prospect has one of the older housing stocks among the communities we serve. Per CMAP's Community Data Snapshot (2020–2024 ACS estimates), the median home was built in 1969, and 48.2% of homes date to 1940–1969 — the largest single-era share of any nearby suburb we researched — with another 3.3% built before 1940. Only 34.3% were built in the 1970–1989 window that dominates newer villages. That means original galvanized supply piping and aging cast-iron drain lines are more common findings in Mount Prospect than in most surrounding communities.

Mount Prospect's public water comes from Lake Michigan, with deep groundwater listed as a backup source, per CMAP's regional water supply data. The Village itself is responsible for the water main and the portion of the service line up to the shut-off valve; the property owner is responsible for the line from there into the home.

The Village of Mount Prospect requires a Contractor's License for plumbers working in the Village and a building permit for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and related work. Contractors must obtain and pass all required permit inspections, including restoring any public right-of-way — sidewalk, parkway, curb, street, or driveway apron — disturbed during a sewer or water service repair.

Mount Prospect operates both combined and separated sanitary/storm sewer systems in different parts of the Village, which the Village's own pages explain affects how backups occur. To help residents reduce the risk of sewage backing up into a basement during heavy rain, the Village offers an Overhead Sewer Rebate Program that reimburses homeowners of single-family dwellings for a share of the cost of converting a gravity-fed sanitary system to an overhead one; the Village's website has current reimbursement terms and a separate deferred-loan option for qualifying low-income homeowners. Multi-family and commercial buildings aren't eligible.
