Waterman wins grant for Kishwaukee feasibility study; IEPA rejects first WWTP algae plan
Summary
The village received a $7,000 DCCF grant and Potawatomi Council pledged $13,000 toward a feasibility study to evaluate joining the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District; staff said the IEPA rejected the first proposal to address algae at the wastewater treatment plant.
Village Manager Nykaza told trustees Waterman was awarded a $7,000 DCCF Community Grant toward a feasibility study that will evaluate the village’s ability to join the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District. The Potawatomi Council plans to cover the additional $13,000 needed for the study. Manager Nykaza said a first draft of the feasibility study will be available in January and the final draft in March.
Manager Nykaza also reported that the Illinois EPA rejected Waterman’s first proposal to address an algae issue at the village wastewater treatment plant; staff have scheduled a meeting with Test, Inc. to discuss next steps. Separately, staff obtained a BNSF permit for water-main repairs on Birch Street and Rt. 30; the Birch Street repair is expected to be a four-day project within the next 2–3 weeks. The Village is planning Well #4 rehabilitation meetings with contractor Test, Inc. and engineering consultant Chastain & Associates.
Trustee Adam Pearson reported that the Water Meter Replacement Project is underway, an antenna was installed on the water tower, and the village plans to apply for the IEPA loan program in March 2025.
