This blog is designed to provide updates on what caused outages after service has been restored. Large-scale incidents will be posted in real-time on the City's Alert Center on the our website homepage. Customers can subscribe to receive these updates via Notify Me.

Union Pacific is building a third railroad line near the current UP-West railway tracks spanning from Peck Road in Geneva to West Chicago. Operations started in 2022 and the overall project is expected to be completed in July 2024. 

April 6 Update

Union Pacific's contractor informed the City the Fox River Trail along the east bank of river will be closed intermittently to the public during the next several weeks.

Concrete is scheduled to be delivered and poured for footings needed for a new retaining wall near the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant. Signage will be posted informing the public when the trail will not be accessible.

Construction continues along the Fox River to expand the train bridge.
