This federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), provides $2,284,429.00 to the City of Litchfield, Illinois to implement phases one and two of its water distribution system improvements project. The key activities to be performed include:
-
Phase 1 - Replacing 1,400 feet of old 8-inch water main from the water treatment plant up to Sassafras Lane and providing an 8-inch water line to the east side of Lake Lou Yaeger.
-
Phase 2 - Replacing two 10-inch mains with a 14-inch main along IL Route 16/Union Avenue from Lake Litchfield to Locust Street, including transferring all services to the new main, and providing new water mains and service connections to the Howard/Wahl Streets service area.
The anticipated outcomes of this project are to eliminate leaking water mains underneath Lake Lou Yaeger and replace them with new 8-inch and 14-inch water mains, resulting in improved water quality and adequate pressure for the city's residents and bulk customers. The award period runs from September 2, 2024 through September 1, 2026.
