FAQ’s


Why is this project necessary? The sanitary and storm sewers identified within the project area must be cleaned and inspected, as a precursor to roadway improvements programmed in the Capital Improvement plan. Sanitary sewers are also prioritized by a Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool (SL-RAT) assessment. SL-RAT is a very portable onsite tool that quickly detects the level of blockage conditions in sewers. The data acquired by cleaning and televising will then be entered into the Village’s Asset Management and Geographical Information System to document the sewers’ current physical condition.
How does this benefit the Village? Regularly cleaning and inspecting sanitary sewers allows staff to maintain them for unobstructed flow capacity, and to program any necessary improvements in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Will this impact traffic and parking? There may be periods when construction traffic/equipment/workers will present a minor temporary delay. Residents should exercise caution when approaching any work zone. There may be brief temporary lane reductions, but no road closures should be necessary.
