This week, crews installed the water main along La Fox River Drive up to Madison Street.
Next week, the contractor will begin testing and disinfecting the water main in accordance with Illinois EPA regulations. Crews also expect to make the following progress:
Begin replacing various portions of the storm water collection system along La Fox River Drive between Center and Madison streets.
Complete a new sanitary sewer along the east half of Madison Street between La Fox River Drive and S. Harrison Street.
Begin installation of the new sanitary service lateral (or pipe) to the properties along La Fox River Drive between Center and Madison streets. This work includes installing a new sanitary service lateral from the new sanitary sewer line up to the property line. At the connection point to existing service, a cleanout will be added outside the property. Cleanouts are vertical pipes running from the sanitary sewer lateral to the surface so the sewer pipe can be serviced.

What's Next?
Crews will transfer water services to the new water main once the contractor has tested and disinfected it. Residents will experience a water disruption for a few hours during this transfer and will be notified 48-hours in advance.
Detour:
Traffic is being routed along Route 31 to Main Street and then back to Washington Street and La Fox River Drive.
We ask that drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists use caution due to the level of construction equipment along La Fox River Drive.
