Buffalo Box
Every residence in Crystal Tree has a Village (VOP) water line connected to a meter within your home. This water
line has a shut off valve located in the front of your home which is called a "Buffalo Box" or commonly known as a B–Box.
The water line from the street to your B–Box is the VOP responsibility and the water line from the B-Box to your home is your
responsibility.
 The B–Box is a 4” round steel cap that can be accessed in order to shut the water service off to your home.
A Village "public work’s" employee or your licensed plumber should be the only people allowed to have access to this shut–off valve.
It is your responsibility to make sure that your B–Box is always visible and it should be located at the same elevation
"height" as the sidewalk, driveway, landscape or grass depending on where it is located. If the ground around your B–Box has settled
(sunk) it is your responsibility to restore the ground to the same elevation as your B–Box. If you need assistance in locating your
B–Box please contact the Village of Orland Park Public Works Department @ 708–403–6350.
