The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the City of Streator a $800,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to implement a project separating the city's combined storm and sanitary sewer systems in the Leroy/Milner area. The anticipated deliverables include:

• Installation of new storm sewer infrastructure, including storm inlets and manholes
• Pavement and landscape restoration following the sewer work
• Traffic control measures during construction

The project aims to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and the discharge of untreated sewage and stormwater to Coal Run Creek during heavy rain events. This is expected to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the amount of fecal coliform and other contaminants entering the local waterway, benefiting Streator's residents. The award period is from May 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.
