Street And Water Main Improvements Map 2021 Opens in new windowWater Main Improvement Project

The biggest component of the City's 2021 street maintenance program is the water main and road reconstruction project slated for Greenwich, Normandy and Andover lanes on the City's west side. Construction will start in mid-May and is anticipated to be completed by mid-August, weather permitting.

The City notified impacted residents in April and held public meetings May 11-13 to address questions and concerns. Even though the City's records indicate there are no lead water services for homes in the neighborhood, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency required the City to send a letter in early June in case some homes internal piping and fixtures contain lead.

A separate water main project is slated for Seventh Street north of State Street, but work is not expected to impact residents or businesses.
