Village OKs bid on water tower

Chicago Tribune - 5/15

The Montogmery Village Board this week approved a $2.3 million bid to build a new water tower on the village's far west side to accommodate growth.

CB&I Constructors Inc. of Plainfield will build the new tower with a 2 million gallon tank northwest of Gordon Road and U.S. Bypass 30 in the Fairfield Way subdivision. The project is expected to be complete in June 2004, said Mike Pubentz, public works director.

The village also has approved a nearly $1.8 million contract to build a second water-treatment plant in the same area, and the village's fifth deep well recently was dug, Pubentz said. The village also has four shallow wells, he added.

"There's a higher demand on our system now because of the growth on the west side of our community," Pubentz said.

All of the costs for the water system expansion are being paid for with $2,000 water tap-on fees paid on each new home built in the village, Village Manager Anne Marie Gaura, said.
