This $1,645,900 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) provides funding to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) to assess and rehabilitate high-risk sanitary sewer systems in several municipalities within Cook County, Illinois.
The project will be executed in two phases. Phase I will involve conducting a condition assessment of the high-risk sewer system areas, including closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection and smoke testing. Once the assessment is complete, Phase II will provide sewer rehabilitation services to the cities of Country Club Hills, Harvey, and Markham, as well as the villages of Bellwood, Dolton, Ford Heights, Hazel Crest, Riverdale, and Stone Park. The anticipated outcomes include reduced risk of sanitary sewer overflows, basement backups, and ponding in these communities.
