The 2021 Water and Sewer Fund budget includes $2,000,000 in dedicated funds for watermain improvements in this area. This project is part of the Village's ongoing program to replace aging watermains throughout the Village. The Public Works Department prioritizes watermain replacement based on defect severity, occurrence failure interval, service reliability, and other related parameters. This year's project includes the rehabilitation of 1,290 lineal feet of watermain located at North Wilke Road. This process consists of installing a liner inside an existing watermain which allows for a reduction in excavation and material trucking expenses. The project is anticipated to begin in March and conclude by the end of October 2021. These are special provisions for work around the school that need to be completed by the start of school in August.
