Fire
hydrant pressure and some village sidewalks will be improved through
a project funded by the village and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The
project includes the replacement and reconfiguration of 1,700
feet of water main on 54th Street and the 1000 block of Kensington
Avenue.
A portion of mains also will be replaced just south of Spring
Avenue School on 50th Street and Spring Avenue.
Assistant
Village Manager Robert Pilipiszyn said sidewalks located above
the affected mains also would be replaced.
The
village will pay $66,250 of the anticipated $265,000 total, Pilipiszyn
said. The remainder will be paid through an Army Corps of Engineers
grant secured by Public Works Director Ken Watkins.
The
mains, which were installed in the 1950s and 60s, have been losing
pressure due to development in the area and to years of wear,
Watkins said.
Construction
is expected to begin in June and be completed in August.
