Why does this Project need to be completed?
There are fifteen (15) homes on Rose and Garden Avenue, from 39th Street to the cul-de-sacs that receive potable water from a 4” rear yard water main. The 4” main was installed in 1964 and resides below garages, fencing, and other private structures. Maintenance on this water main is inaccessible for the Public Works Department.
What happens if the water main breaks?
A water main break would create a situation where these fifteen (15) properties would have limited to no water service for an extended period of time and require the Village to abandon the water main. In such a situation, these property owners would be financially responsible for the relocation of their own water services to the existing Rose and Garden water mains. Each property owner would have to hire a plumbing contractor to perform the installation of the new water service. The Village elected to proactively abandon the rear yard water main before a break occurs.
