La Grange Park outlines water-main and sewer-separation projects; $4.85 million combined grant funding for central sewer separation
Summary
The village updated trustees that Gerardi Sewer and Water is the low bidder for the 2025 water-main improvement project, which began this week and is expected to be complete by Dec. 12, 2025, and that the central-area sewer-separation project is moving toward construction in 2026–27 with combined grant funding of roughly $4.85 million.
Village engineering and public-works staff updated trustees on several water and sewer projects at the Sept. 23 meeting, including a water-main improvement contract already under way and planning and grant coordination for a central-area sewer-separation project.
The village’s 2025 water-main improvement project low bid was submitted by Gerardi Sewer and Water; work has begun on King’s Court and Castle Circle with a reported anticipated completion date of Dec. 12, 2025. Trustee Sheehan reported the contract award and the start of the project during the engineering and capital projects report.
Engineering staff said plans and specifications for the central-area sewer separation project are underway. Coordination of a Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) stormwater partnership grant and HUD grant agreements is in progress; staff identified combined funding of $4,850,000 toward the project. Construction is planned for 2026 and 2027.
Staff also reported sewer-maintenance work (lining, cleaning and televising) with bids opened in August and awards made: Vicious Sewer of Illinois (sewer cleaning and televising), Hor Construction (sewer lining), and other firms for point repairs. Sewer maintenance work was scheduled to begin in September with anticipated completion in November.
Why it matters: The projects address aging infrastructure and stormwater management; the sewer-separation work is tied to large regional grants and multi-year construction plans that will affect traffic, construction schedules and budgets.
Ending: Staff will return with project schedules and grant agreements as designs and contracts are finalized.
