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

ISSUE: Utilize a 35 acre open space, formerly part of the Hilton Indian Lakes Resort, for the purpose of increasing the volume of storm water runoff stored on this site to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding on surrounding properties, and for a companion use as a passive park. ANALYSIS: The program includes all costs associated with the redevelopment of the Open Space site, including land planning and stormwater engineering. Prior Years costs include a drainage analysis by Benes and Associates, plus the first phase of the Signature Design study. Future costs include the final phase of the Signature Design study, including work by Benes as a subcontractor, and the actual redevelopment costs, in two (2) phases. SOLUTION: Runoff from surrounding properties would be directed to new stormwater storage areas created on the open space, where the water would be stored and released at a controlled rate to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding. The redevelopment costs and timing of improvements are TBD pending final design and determining sources of funding. This project is in included in the Village of Bloomingdale FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
