Project Need

• PER was developed to outline capital improvements necessary to address anticipated Early Warning Sewer Ban issues as a result of hydraulic overload.
• PER developed to modify the existing Agreed Order with IDEM to a more affordable and focused regime of improvements – than those originally outlined by the previous Engineer.
• Coordination with the County Surveyor’s Office to aid in the financing and scope of stormwater improvement projects that would also prove beneficial to the wastewater utility.
• Coordination with IDEM regarding historical violations and existing deficiencies.
