Illinois American Water’s Peoria District is investing over $14
million to improve its water service distribution system. The
investment includes replacing and installing over nine miles of
water main across the Peoria District. A map of the proposed work
can be viewed here – http://arcg.is/1SCKWL.
According to Roger Goodson, senior manager of field operations
and production, Illinois American Water’s water main replacement
program focuses on replacing mains where leaks occur, corrosion has
caused damage or the size of the pipe isn’t sufficient.
He said, “These projects will help ensure adequate water
pressure and flow to homes and businesses for service and fire
protection. The work will also help to reduce main breaks and
related traffic and service impact.”
Customers 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 areas and obey traffic signs, detour routes and
flaggers.
