The 12-inch cast iron main that runs on Lee Road from Dundee to Rudolph was installed in 1968. The water main has a crossing under the Edens Expressway Spur. The Village’s water distribution system has limited capacity and redundancies to the Northeastern portion of the system. Main replacement such as this was identified in the Village’s original water plan. A failure of this main could impair the Village’s ability to supply water to the Northeastern portions of the community. The planned development and increased number of water customers associated with the proposed Northbrook Court also increases the needs for this improvement. Currently this main will be replaced with a 20-inch diameter pipe. Additional water model analysis and review will be required prior to final design. Design and completion of this work will require the Village to work with the Cook County Forest Preserve District, the Illinois Department of Transportation, and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority and other agencies.
