Project Information
Project Limits: North Grace Street from Prairie Avenue to North Avenue
Project: The scope of the project addresses water breaks, sags, and structural issues within the sanitary sewer pipe and manholes. Some sections of water mains shall be rehabilitated via a Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP), some sections will be replaced and other sections will be decommissioned and have the services transferred to an existing larger diameter water main. Portions of the sanitary sewer will also be lined with CIPP and other sections will be replaced with new sewer. Some sanitary sewer manholes will be coated with a geopolymer or epoxy product to ensure that they are structurally sound and watertight to prevent the infiltration of groundwater.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this project necessary?
Some of the underground utility infrastructure has reached the end of its service life.
How does this benefit the Village?
The benefits of the project will be an improved and more resilient water distribution and sewer collection network.
Will this impact traffic and parking?
North Grace Street will be southbound during the installation of water and sewer services that cross the roadway and during the installation of the new water main. Lane reductions may occur in conjunction with one-way traffic. There will be periods when residents will not be able to access their driveways due to underground utility construction, driveway apron reconstruction, and roadway paving. Overnight parking passes will be distributed before residents are out of their driveways overnight or for extended periods.
