A new 2 million-gallon water tank, a new water main in the downtown area and new sidewalks on Ogden Avenue are among capital improvement projects slated for Lisle through 2006.
Village board members lastweek reviewed the projects as the upcoming budget takes shape.
A new water tank would help meet peak demand throughout the village. Peak water demand in 2001 exceeded 5 million gallons per day, and the village currently has 3.5 million gallons of storage. A new tank would cost about $3 million. Once a new tank is completed, the Warrenville and Green Trails tanks will need painting, according to Ray Peterson, public works director.
Plans also call for the replacement of an older water main as part of the downtown development plan. The size of the water main will depend on the scope and schedule of street construction downtown.
A water main for unincorporated Woodridge Estates is also planned. That line would start at Illinois Highway 53 and extend east to serve an area where some lots have been contaminated with trichloroethylene, an industrial solvent.
However, construction cannot be scheduled until after the March election and board members decide whether to construct the main, Peterson said.
The village is expecting funding from the Mayors and Managers Conference to help pay for sidewalks on one side of Ogden Avenue. The project, scheduled for 2003, is expected to cost $750,000, and the village would have to pay for engineering expenses.
