This month, Illinois American Water will begin installing over
7,100 feet of water main to upgrade Pekin’s water distribution
system. This investment of $2.3 million includes installing 16-inch
water main to enhance water service, fire protection, and system
hydraulics. The project will occur over two years.
The 2018 water main will be installed along the following
route:
- Sheridan Road – from Crescent Drive to
Sommerset Street
- Sommerset Street – from Sheridan Road
to Jane Street
The 2019 water main will be installed along the following
route:
- Sommerset Street – from Jane Street to
Catherine Street
- Catherine Street – from Sommerset
Street to Capital Street
- Capital Street – from Caroline Street
to Court Street
Cord Crisler, operations superintendent for the Pekin 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 should be completed by the end of 2019.
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.
