Site work for a water / sewer project in Wilmette, Illinois. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The sewer repair program includes excavating and replacing portions of the sewer system, including addressing defective manholes and sewer service connections as necessary. Deteriorated sewer mains and service connections are identified through the annual sewer televising program (contractual and in-house), as well as through routine staff inspections. The goal is to complete sewer point repairs in advance of streets programmed for road rehabilitation and prior to sewer lining. This project focuses on repairing sewers that show signs of collapse, excessive cracking, voids or holes, and offsets in joints that may prove problematic to the functioning of the sewer main and that require repair before the sewers can be eligible for sewer lining. In addition, this annual expenditure addresses the deterioration of the sewer system by increasing sewer capacity, reducing sewer backups, improving the pipes' structural integrity, and protecting the investment in the newly paved streets. As of March 6, 2024, this project is included in the city’s 2024-2033 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Per owner, designs are prepared by Village staff; next construction is tentatively scheduled for Fall 2024. *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.
