FAQ’s

Why is this project necessary? Maintenance of a large, combined sewer.
How does this benefit the Village? The benefits of the project will be an improved and reliable combined sewer collection network.
Will this impact traffic and parking? Residents will periodically not be able to access their driveway during construction hours due to underground utility construction.  One-way traffic will be in place as the contractor proceeds with the work. This will be a moving operation, when work is completed within a specific area regular two-way traffic will be reinstated and along with normal regular driveway access. Overnight parking passes will be distributed before residents are out of their driveways for a day or two.
