Objective

To improve the condition of the roadway by removing the existing pavement and replacing it with a new, structurally sound pavement. To reduce the frequency and severity of flooding and sewer backups by separating the existing combined sewer.

Description

This project consists of pavement improvements and combined sewer separation on South Monterey Avenue from Washington Street to Park Boulevard and on Highland Avenue from Monterey Avenue to Riverside Drive. Some selective water and sanitary system improvements are also included. Future sewer separation is proposed as a part of the Washington Area Combined Sewer Separation Project.

Justification

The Village’s Pavement Management Program has determined that the condition of the street has deteriorated to the point that pavement rehabilitation is needed. The pavement improvements are to be partially funded by voter approved bond proceeds. The sewer separation was recommended by the 2015 Comprehensive Flood Plan and Storm Sewer Analysis prepared by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd.

PUBLIC NOTICE: IEPA FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

IEPA LogoWork for the Monterey Avenue Improvement Project is partially financed by the Water Pollution Control Loan Program (WPCLP) State Revolving Fund (SRF). The SRF program is administered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and receives a portion of its money to fund these types of projects from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This project includes areas throughout the Village of Villa Park. Once complete, it will improve water quality for area residents and businesses in Villa Park and the Salt Creek Watershed by reducing the inflow and infiltration (I/I) of both stormwater and debris into the sanitary sewer system, thus lessening both the frequency and severity of sewer surcharges and sewer backup. SRF programs operate in each state to provide communities the resources necessary to build, maintain, and improve the infrastructure that protects one of our most valuable resources: water.
