Board approves $189,893 EEI agreement to relocate water main ahead of lead service replacements
Summary
Trustees approved a design agreement with Engineering Enterprises (EEI) for $189,893 to relocate backyard water mains into street rights-of-way in a neighborhood with high concentrations of lead service lines, improving eligibility for IEPA funding.
Public Works reported the village area with the highest concentration of lead service lines is in a neighborhood south of Oak Street and described a plan to relocate the water main from backyards into the street right-of-way so lead-service-line replacements can proceed. Staff said the relocation increases the village's chance of qualifying for IEPA funding and recommended entering into an EEI design agreement for $189,893.
Trustees moved, seconded and approved the agreement by roll call. The staff presentation emphasized the relocation is a prerequisite to replacing lead service lines and to positioning the project for state loan or grant funding; the board approved the contract as presented.
