Walworth approves two large change orders for 2026 lead service line project
Summary
The Village Board unanimously approved Change Order No.1 for $843,696.73 and Change Order No.2 for $692,698.63 to expand the 2026 lead and galvanized service line replacement project. Officials said the initial plan was for 50 replacements; final counts were 26 private and 41 public lines.
The Village of Walworth on July 13 approved two substantial change orders to its 2026 lead and galvanized service line replacement program, adding more than $1.5 million to the project cost.
Consultant Scott Hartay provided an update during the public hearing, and village contractor representative David Hemmerich said the initial project included 50 service line replacements. "The final was 26 private lines and 41 public lines," Hemmerich said. Homeowners have the option to pay up front or have costs added to property taxes with 0.5% interest.
Trustee Steve Hovestol moved to approve Change Order No. 1 for $843,696.73; the motion carried unanimously. A subsequent motion to approve Change Order No. 2 for $692,698.63 also carried unanimously. The board did not record objections in the minutes.
The hearing record and board packet indicate the special-charge payment option and the scope adjustments; the board closed the hearing at 6:25 p.m. and approved both change orders in open session. The board did not set an alternate funding source in the minutes and left homeowner payment method choices as described by Hemmerich.
