WATER MAIN EXPANSION – OAKTON STREET
Description: This project will extend the Village-owned potable water distribution system to a 28-acre area abutting Oakton Street in south Mount Prospect. The area is presently zoned for commercial and industrial uses. Privately owned, shallow groundwater wells presently serve most properties.
Location: Oakton Street connects at Lexington, heading west to Badger Road and then north to Terminal Dr.
Schedule: Design Engineering begins February 2024, construction bid is let February 2025, and construction completed July 2025.
WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Description: Replacement of deteriorated water main segments is a high priority due to water loss from main breaks and replacement of water mains around newly developed locations to meet fire flow code standards.
Location: Prospect Avenue, South Albert Street, South Louis Street, South Pine Street, Can Dota Avenue, Robert Drive and Palm Drive.
Schedule: Construction Start – April 2025 – Construction Completed - October 2025
SEWER MAIN LINING
Description: The contractor will install a cured-in-place pipe line into an existing sewer pipe to extend the life of the infrastructure. This method is trenchless, quicker, and safer than traditional open-cut sewer replacement methods.
Location: Various locations. See the location map on the project page.
Schedule: April through September
FAIRVIEW GARDENS GRAVITY SEWER CONNECTION
Description: In 2024 the Fairview Gardens Lift Station was abandoned and a new 12” gravity sewer was installed on Horner Lane and Central Road connecting the Villages sanitary sewer in the subdivision to MWRD’s intercepting sewer located at the intersection of Central Road and Wolf Road. The Village has lined all sewer mains and manholes in the subdivision, eliminating all infiltration into the public system. However, 96 homes in the subdivision have drain tiles tied to the sanitary sewer via their home’s sewer lateral. The proposed program would disconnect the homes’ drain tiles from the sanitary service lateral thus reducing unnecessary inflow and infiltration from storm and ground water.
Location: Fairview Gardens Subdivision
Schedule: All of 2025
