The approved FY17- FY21 Capital Improvement Program includes $1,500,000 for the funding of Water System Improvements. This project is part of the Village's ongoing program to replace aging watermains throughout the Village. The Public Works Department evaluates and prioritizes watermain replacement based on defect severity, occurrence interval of failures, service reliability and other related parameters.  This year's project includes the replacement of all the watermain within the Regency Park subdivision, a storm water repair on University Drive, and grading site work to relieve storm water accumulating on East Regency Drive.  The Village often creates bidding documents with base and alternate options to leverage all possible funds for watermain replacement.
