Project Information

This Project Includes: The scope of work includes approximately 1,046 linear feet of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) sewer lining ranging from 8 to 15 inches in diameter and the reinstatement of approximately 15 service laterals. 
Project Schedule: The schedule is predicated upon obtaining an IDOT right-of-way permit to work on Roosevelt Road (Route 38).  The sequence of operations is to clean and televise the sewers the week of April 28th and then return to line the sewers in late May. The Contractor must complete all work under the contract by no later than October 1, 2024.
Project Limits: Work within the project limits is located within easements, license areas, or rights-of-way.

FAQs

How does this benefit me? These improvements are necessary to improve sections of deteriorated sewers.  
What is involved with this type of construction? Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) lining avoids expensive and disruptive excavation by inserting a flexible tube into the sewer, which is then expanded outward to the wall of the existing pipe. This creates a water-tight, smooth-surfaced, long-lasting (50-year design life) pipe within the old sewer. The new pipe will provide a smooth surface (to help flow), structural integrity, and longevity.
The lining process is accomplished by these steps:
1. The sewer is cleaned and televised to ensure that it is clear of debris.
2. Affected properties are notified to limit water usage during the lining and curing process. As the liner is inserted and cured, services to the sewer are temporarily blocked. Once the liner has cured, services are reinstated.
3. The contractor re-televises the sewer to review the quality of the installation and to ensure that all services have been reinstated.
Will my road be closed? Roadway closures are not anticipated. However, short-term one-way traffic may be necessary.
If my driveway is inaccessible, where do I park? If this situation arises, residents will be advised to use nearby on-street parking.
Will my water or sewer service be affected? The contractor will post door hangers 24 hours in advance of construction to notify residents whose homes will be affected by the sewer lining work. Residents will be asked to limit the usage of toilet facilities and refrain from doing laundry for a period of no longer than 8 hours. If work is rescheduled, another door hanger notification will be issued. Notification will also be given through the Village’s Notify Me application.
Are there any other important details? Residents should pour a gallon of water into each basement floor drain to ensure that the traps are full. This will help to prevent sewer odors from entering the home. Please also keep toilet lids closed. If a backup should occur, contact Public Works at 630-620-5740. After hours, contact the Police Department at (630) 873-4400.
