OBJECTIVE

To improve water system capacity and reliability by replacing the existing water mains. To improve the condition of the roadway by means of selected pavement rehabilitation methods.

DESCRIPTION

This project consists of pavement improvements and the replacement of existing 4" and 6" diameter water mains on North Iowa Avenue from Plymouth Street to Stone Road, on North Michigan Avenue from Plymouth Street to Stone Road, and on North Wisconsin Avenue from Ridge Road to Stone Road.

JUSTIFICATION

The existing water mains have a high incidence of water main breaks, and the existing 4" mains also have insufficient capacity. The Illinois EPA Public Water Supply Loan Program (PWSLP) is expected to provide loan funding for the water main improvements. This project is to be partially funded by voter approved bond proceeds.

November 1, 2024This large water main replacement and street improvement project has been split into smaller portions due to budget constraints. The village has been awarded CDBG grant funding for the construction of two of the smaller portions of the larger project. North Wisconsin Avenue has also been separated into its own project, as it does not include water main replacement. Updates on these smaller projects can be found under their respective pages on this website. Other areas within the original project have been delayed indefinitely until funding can be acquired.
