Active Projects

2019 Sewer Rehabilitation Program

The Village has identified areas of the sewer network that are in need of rehabilitation. The rehabilitation efforts will reduce 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 backups. The life of the existing sewer will also be extended.
