In the fall of 2025, The Village of Arlington Heights started the installation of sanitary sewer pipe along Algonquin Road from Busse Road to Cedar Glen Drive. The project limits also include work along Dempster Street between Busse Road and Algonquin Road. The project will replace approximately 2,500 feet of sanitary sewer with a larger-diameter pipe to increase the capacity of the system. All affected private sanitary sewer service lines will be connected to the new sewer. The Village of Arlington Heights and the contractor will coordinate the reconnection of private service lines with affected businesses.
This project is a Village of Arlington Heights capital improvement project. More information regarding the project can be found on the Village of Arlington Heights webpage at:
