Site work for a municipal facility in Wilmette, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for site work for a municipal facility.

The Water Plant facility, with the initial construction in 1933, has grown to a facility that has many roof areas as the result of subsequent expansions in 1956 and 1971. Hutchinson Design Group, a roof consultant, conducted a survey in 2012. The survey provided a recommended schedule for roof repairs based on type, age, and condition of each roof area: 2025 Roof Repairs The upper 1956 roof was last rebuilt in 1998 and a temporary repair was performed in 2006. It is anticipated that by 2025, permanent repairs will be needed to restore roof integrity and protect building equipment housed underneath it. The initial budget estimate of $260,000 for the upper 1956 Water Plant roof is for a conventional membrane system. The roof will have a projected 30-year life. A Green roof could be considered as alternative during design. As of February 9, 2024, this project is included in the city’s 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
