Some adjustments will be made to the existing water main to accommodate the new storm sewer installation. The project also includes drainage improvements at the Chase/Division intersection, ADA-compliant sidewalk replacements, pavement patching on Chase Avenue, and the installation of new curb, gutter, and asphalt pavement on Division Street.

FAQ’s
Why is this project necessary? The area currently does not have a separate storm sewer system. This new storm sewer will remove storm runoff from Highland (from Madison to Division), Division (Highland to Chase) and Chase (Division to South Broadway) from entering the combined sewer system, thereby reducing basement backups, combined sewer overflows, and a volume of wastewater treatment.
How else does this benefit the Village? There will also be new street pavement on Division.
Will this impact traffic and parking? There may be periods of time that residents will not be able to access their driveways due to construction. Overnight parking passes will be distributed before residents are requested to be out of their driveways overnight or for extended periods of time.
