Per CMAP's Community Data Snapshot (2020–2024 ACS estimates), the median Prospect Heights home was built in 1976. Nearly half the housing stock — 46.2% — dates to 1970–1989, with 34.9% built between 1940 and 1969 and just 2.1% built before 1940. That puts a large share of Prospect Heights homes right at the age where original copper supply lines and cast-iron or clay sewer laterals from the 1940s–60s section of town are reaching the end of their expected service life.

Prospect Heights' public water comes from Lake Michigan, with deep groundwater listed as a backup source, according to CMAP's regional water supply data.

The City of Prospect Heights requires a building permit for plumbing work, including water heater replacement and removal, per the City's own permit guideline. The Public Works Department separately handles maintenance and inspection of the sanitary and storm sewer systems under NPDES and Community Rating System requirements.

Part of Prospect Heights has a documented flooding problem tied to McDonald Creek. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago has committed funding toward an intergovernmental flood control project near Willow Road, Hillcrest Drive, and Owen Court, where heavy rain has made roughly 60 homes in the area impassable in past storms. The project calls for raising the affected roadways and adding new culverts and stormwater storage. Residents with drainage, ponding, or grading questions can reach the City's contracted engineering consultant through the Storm Water Management page.
