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

The area for this project is bounded by Sunset Drive on the north, Chautauqua Street on the south, Dixon Street on the east and Little Crab Orchard Creek on the west. When this section of Carbondale was developed, corrugated metal storm drainage systems were often used. These pipes are starting to deteriorate and fail. This study would identify the areas where corrugated metal pipes were used and note the areas that are failing. This information will provide the necessary data for establishing a program for repairs. Following the study, staff will prepare necessary construction documents to implement the upgrades and repairs needed to the system. As the study has not been completed, construction funds have been allocated based on planned funds availability within the Local Improvement Fund beginning in FY 2022. As of February 13, 2023, this project is included in the City of Carbondale's FY-2024-2028 CIP and funding is allotted for FY 2024, FY 2026, and FY 2027. *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.
