Site work for a water / sewer project in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The stormwater utility fee allows an expanded Stormwater Management Program to replace existing storm sewers due to limited capacity and poor condition. Replacement will reduce future maintenance costs and increase stormwater drainage efficiency. Project costs consist of design, permitting, construction engineering and construction. In-house design and construction engineering is being utilized when feasible,which allows for more funds to be used for construction. A storm sewer analysis was completed in 2015 and all locations identified at that time are incorporated into the current eight year plan. It has been common for emergency situations to arise on a yearly basis at locations that were not previously identified. It is most cost effective to replace the storm sewers before failure and the need for continued temporary maintenance. Cost savings can be realized for locations which can be incorporated into other Village projects causing some locations to move years throughout the program over time. In 2019 update rainfall data was released by the Illinois State Water Survey. It is important to utilize this newest and best available data when replacing storm sewers to ensure that the pipes will properly function for their life span. Stormwater Master Plans for the south and north areas of the Village are proposed in future years to ensure that segmental replacement projects are completed according to system-wide needs. This project is in included in the Village of Hoffman Estates FY 2022-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of March 17, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
