Capital Improvement Programs
Road Programs
Each year, the Engineering Department determines which roads will be improved based on a number of factors such as condition, age and volume of traffic.
The Village uses pavement management software to determine the condition of our local streets. The software program estimates the rate of pavement degradation and recommends an optimal rehabilitation schedule.
Sewer Rehabilitation Programs
Sewer Rehabilitation Programs include two Programs: Sewer repairs and Sewer lining.
Sewer repairs include replacement of deteriorated sewer mains and defective sewer service connections. This project focuses on repairing sewers which show signs of collapse, excessive cracking, voids or gaps between pipes, and faulty service connections. Often times, sewer main repairs are necessary to prepare a sewer pipe for sewer lining.
Sewer lining is a non-invasive technique to rehabilitate sewers by eliminating infiltration, structural defects and root intrusion. Sewer lining does not require excavation or disruption to traffic. It is a cost-effective process which allows the Village to repair sewer lines with less disruption than the excavation method.
