Unplanned Water Service Impacts - Tonight 6/5

Posted on June 5, 2023 at 6:34 PM by Tyler Dickinson

Due to a water main service failure, water in the downtown area from Hazel Ave to Deerfield Road will be impacted starting ASAP for around 30 minutes. This impact will only affect those services that have been transferred over to the new water main. Those properties that have not been transferred to the new main are not impacted by this repair. 

We apologize for the inconvenience but appreciate the cooperation.

Waukegan Rd Project Update - 6/2/2023

Posted on June 2, 2023 at 4:50 PM by John Guccione

This past week, the contractor continued residential service connections during daytime operations and connections to businesses during nighttime operations in the downtown area.  The contractor also placed asphalt patching to restore the pavement where underground work has been completed. 

The contractor will operate tonight, June 2, connecting two water services to businesses from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. They will also perform a water service connection at Waukegan Road and Elder Lane on Saturday, June 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Next week, water service connections will continue during both daytime and overnight work.  Impacted properties will be notified 48 hours in advance. Most notably, next week’s operations will expand the traffic control north from Hazel Avenue to North Avenue. With the School year coming to an end, underground work will now begin working north on Waukegan Road to the northern limits of the job at North Avenue.

Additionally, water main connections will be performed next week at Westgate Road and at Orchard Street. Both of these operations will result in water service impacts to residents and closures of side streets to the motoring public.  Additional notice will proceed these operations.

The Village appreciates your cooperation during this important improvement. For more information, please contact the engineering department at 847.317.2490.

This week, the contractor continued residential service connections with multiple crews. Additionally, water testing requirements were completed this week in the downtown area and the water main is now ready for new service connections. Next week, crews will resume overnight work in the downtown area for business service connections while continuing government and residential service connections during the day. Once all service connections are complete north of Hazel Avenue, final asphalt patching is planned to take place between Fair Oaks and Hazel.
