Background
Division Street was last resurfaced in 2007. It is programmed to be resurfaced under a separate project in 2023. Prior to the resurfacing, this separate, locally funded sewer and water improvements project will include sewer lining from Hayes Avenue to Humphrey Avenue to address structural issues, sewer replacement from Grove Avenue to Oak Park Avenue which was identified as a recommended project in the Village’s Combined Sewer System Master Plan Report to address basement backups, and a new sewer main west of Ridgeland to replace a deteriorated small diameter pipe. Water main replacement is from East Avenue to Elmwood Avenue to improve fire flows in the area which was identified as a recommended project in the Village's Water System Master Plan Report.
Construction is planned to start in the March of 2023 and last until approximately June. The work will require road closures on sections of Division Street and closures of Oak Park Ave for a portion of the work.
