Renovation of a water / sewer project in Wilmette, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

Coagulant Chemical Storage DelPAC 2020 is the coagulant treatment chemical used at the Water Plant to remove naturally occurring turbidity in the raw lake water. DelPAC 2020 is purchased in 4,000 gallon quantities and stored in two rubber-lined steel 8,000 gallon bulk storage tanks. The present bulk storage tanks were constructed in 1956. The original rubber lining is deteriorating and in need of replacement. The tanks also need a steel top installed with a vent line to the outside to meet current safety standards. Fluoride Chemical Storage Fluoride is fed at the Water Plant to prevent dental cavities in children. Fluoride is purchased in 3,000 gallon quantities and stored in one rubber-lined steel 2,000 gallon bulk storage tank and three 700 gallon fiberglass tanks. The 2,000 gallon steel tank was constructed in 1956. The original rubber lining is deteriorating and because the lining on the tank is not accessible, the tank will need to be replaced. Hypochlorite Chemical Storage Sodium Hypochlorite (Hypo) is fed at the Water Plant to disinfect the finished water. Hypo is purchased in 4,000 gallon quantities and stored in four fiberglass reinforced 3,800 gallon bulk storage tanks. These tanks were installed in 2003, and they have an expected life of 10-15 years while storing this chemical. As of January 23, 2023, this project is in the conceptual phase. An engineer has not been selected. This project is in included in the Village of Wilmette's FY 2023-2032 Budget CIP and funding allotted for 2023 and 2025. *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.
