OBJECTIVE

To significantly improve the condition of the roadway by removing the existing deteriorated pavement and replacing it with a new structurally sound pavement. A portion of the project includes storm sewer that will reduce the frequency of surcharging of the combined sewer system.

DESCRIPTION

This project consists of the reconstruction of Astor Court from Summit Avenue to Myrtle Avenue, Myrtle Avenue from Park to Highland, and Euclid Avenue from Kenilworth to Highland, and includes storm sewer construction. Some selective water system and sanitary sewer system improvements are also included.

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. This project is to be partially funded by voter approved bond proceeds.

The sanitary sewer separation and related work for the Astor, Myrtle, and Euclid Improvement Project were 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.
