·         Water main work completed!!!
·         Completed water service replacements

Work Anticipated to be performed next week, June 11th to June 15th

·         Continue with concrete curb & gutter and sidewalk installation once storm sewer completed.
·         NPL / Nicor to be on-site to relocate gas main near large culvert
·         Comcast potentially on-site to relate cables near large culvert

It is anticipated the underground utility (water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewer) improvements will be completed by the end of next week. Once that work is completed, the project will move into the roadway improvements phase. During this time, the concrete curb & gutter and sidewalk will be replaced where previously damaged or in poor condition. There will be periods in which residents will not have access to their driveways for 5-7 days while the concrete is removed, poured, and allowed proper time to cure.  If a driveway is affected, each resident will be provided with a hand-delivered letter stating when the restriction will occur and when access will be restored.

We are continually working with various utility companies (ComEd, Comcast, AT&T, and Nicor) to have their facilities relocated in the area of the large culvert replacement.  Once all utilities are relocated, the culvert will be replaced. Additional information will be provided when this phase of the construction begins.

We understand several residents are having issues with the various utilities due to work performed. Although the Village does not own or maintain these facilities, we are working to get all the issues resolved as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during the recent water main shut-downs.  No additional water service disruptions are anticipated.
