Water Main On-Going. Central Road Roadway Reconstruction to Begin

This past week, DiMeo Brothers continued with the water main installation along Westview Road from the westerly end to Glenayre Drive and toward Glenview Road.

The contractor is anticipating to make the connection at the existing water main that crosses under Glenview Road early next week. To make the connection, the water main in the area will need to be turned off. Residents affected by the shut-down will be notified prior to water service being disrupted.

Also last week, the contractor installed storm sewer services to the residents along Central Road. If the resident had an existing storm sewer service or drain, it was reconnected to the new service in the same location. If no existing storm service was present, the contractor installed a stub at each property for future connection by the homeowner.  Should a homeowner wish to install a storm sewer service on their private property and/or connect to the storm sewer, please contact the Village of Glenview to determine the actions needed and permits required prior to installing the system.

Next week, the contractor will connect to the existing water main along Glenview Road and begin the necessary testing prior to connecting homes to the new water main. 

The contractor will also begin installing new sanitary sewer services and manholes along Glendale Drive.  A new 6-inch PVC sanitary sewer service will be installed to each residence along Glendale Drive. The new sanitary sewer service will be connected directly to the existing sanitary sewer service and placed in the same location. There will be no disruption to your sanitary sewer during this process. If possible, we do ask that you limit your water usage during the new sanitary sewer service installation.

Central Road roadway reconstruction including removing the existing soils under the roadway, installing new aggregate base, concrete curb & gutter, and asphalt pavement will also begin next week. The entire roadway reconstruction process will likely take 2 to 3 weeks to complete. Residents will be notified of any restrictions to their driveways prior to the work beginning.

Have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day Weekend!!!

August 18, 2014

The general contractor DiMeo Brothers, Inc. started the water main installation on Glendale Drive late last week and is anticipating continuing the water main installation on Westview before the end of this week.  In preparation for this underground work on Westview Road, on Tuesday 8-19-14 the road will be ground up into a crushed asphalt base which will allow for vehicle access to all driveways, reduce pavement saw-cutting and provide the maximum flexibility for water main underground construction.

Water Main Installation along Glendale Drive Started

This past week, DiMeo Brothers completed the new storm sewer along Central Road between Glendale Drive and Glenridge Drive. The contractor also started the new water main installing along Glendale Drive starting at Central Road and moving north towards Westview Road.  During the water main installation, there will be some scheduled water main shut downs. Residents will be notified prior to any scheduled disruption in water service.

As always with underground utility construction, the potential of water main breaks is always present. Should this occur, the water main will need to turned off to repair the damage. Every effort will be made to notify those effected residents as soon as possible.

Next week, the contractor will continue to install water main along Glendale Drive from Central Road up to Westview Road. The contractor will also install the storm sewer services to those homes adjacent to the Central Road storm sewer.

Once the storm sewer services and remaining underground utility work is completed along Central Road, the contractor will begin roadway reconstruction in this area. The roadway reconstruction will include removing the existing asphalt pavement and soils below the pavement, installing an aggregate base course, concrete curb & gutter, and asphalt pavement. The process will take a few weeks to complete, but could begin near the end of next week. Residents will be notified of any access restrictions to their driveways during the roadway reconstruction process.

Thank you again for your understanding and patience as you deal with living within a construction area. The Village is committed to doing everything possible to minimize the inconveniences associated with construction.

Storm Sewer Work nearing Completion along Central Road

This past week, DiMeo Brothers continued to install the new storm sewer along Central Road between Glenayre Drive and Glenridge Drive. The contractor continued to install the mainline storm sewer and the cross-street inlets and catch basins that will eventually be within the new concrete curb & gutter.

Next week, the contractor will continue to install storm sewer along Central Road between Glendale Drive and Glenridge Drive. The contractor will primarily focus on the cross street catch basins and inlets on the north side of Central Road and the piping that connects them to the mainline storm sewer on the south side of the roadway. Due to the contractor excavating across the roadway, getting through Central Road will be increasingly more difficult as the construction progresses. The roadway will be opened to traffic at the end of each working day.

Depending on work progress, the contractor may begin installing the new water main along Glendale Drive next week as well.

The Village is requesting that if you have not contacted Russ Jensen, project manager, regarding your desired location for the storm sewer service connection within your property, please do so at your earliest convenience. Russ can be contacted at 847-904-4418 or rjensen@glenview.il.us.
