Cherry Valley receives Well 7 construction permit; multiple watermain projects advance

Village engineer Adam Bunge (C.E.S., Inc.) told the Committee of the Whole on July 27 that the construction permit for Well 7 (the Well House) has been received. He said final operating permits will require retesting for radium and gross alpha as part of the operating-permit application process.

Bunge also reported that the Mill Road watermain replacement and river crossing have IEPA-approved alignment and materials; C.E.S. staked the bore path and contractor N-Trak is expected to begin boring the first week of August. The Ulster watermain portion of the project is essentially complete, with curb and gutter replaced, repaving finished, and site restoration installed.

The committee was also advised that the CV 2026 Streets Improvements contractor (Schroeder) has substantially completed the project and staff recommended Pay Request No. 2; a final pay request will follow when change-order work and punch-list items are finished. Interim Public Works Director Andy Wesseln said the McGuire Iron contract for Village Water Towers 1 and 2 was reviewed with legal counsel and the committee reached consensus to move forward and bring the contract back to a future Committee of the Whole for review.
