In the first eight months since acquiring the City of Rosiclare
water production system and wastewater system, Illinois American
Water has invested approximately $1.1 million in upgrades. These
projects are part of the company’s commitment to invest $5 million
in the first five years of ownership.
Mike Brown, operations superintendent, explained, “Illinois
American Water continuously makes improvements to support safety,
efficiencies and water quality. We take great pride in delivering
drinking water which not only meets Environmental Protection Agency
standards but is better than required. Our customers deserve the
best product possible.”
Work completed at the water treatment plant includes upgrading
security and implementing new technology to support reliability.
Structural improvements were made to improve employee safety and
security. High service pumps have been procured and will be
installed to support reliable water pressure.
Back-up generators were installed at both the water and
wastewater plants. The generators support continued, reliable
service in the event of severe weather or power outage. Additional
improvements at the wastewater treatment plant included replacing
effluent pumps. A filter building was also rehabilitated, along
with other structural building improvements for employee
safety.
Brown said, “Creating a safe working environment is part of our
commitment to employee safety. There’s nothing more important.”
Brown leads operations for Rosiclare, Hardin County and Cairo.
The Cairo District celebrated 21 years without experiencing any
lost-time accidents last year. To learn more about Illinois
