Next week, Illinois American Water will begin replacing and
installing over 1,800-feet of water main to upgrade Lincoln’s water
distribution system. This investment of $650,000 will enhance water
service, fire protection and system hydraulics. Water valves and
fire hydrants will also be replaced and installed as a part of this
project.
Water main installation will occur in the following
locations:
- Madison Street north of Woodlawn
- Adam street from 15th to 13th
street
- Limit Street and Broadway
intersection
Gabe Bowden, operations superintendent for the Lincoln District,
said, “We invest annually to ensure water quality and service
continues to be as good as or better than local, state and federal
quality standards. This project will benefit all of our customers
by helping to reduce water main breaks and related traffic and
service impact.”
The entire project, including restoration, should be completed
this fall. Customers directly affected by the work will be notified
via letter about the impact and any necessary steps. The letter
will include a local contact for questions. Motorists should use
caution when driving in the construction area and obey traffic
signs, detour routes and flaggers in the area.
