Resolution Approving Easement Agreement for Water Transmission Main with Plainfield Community Consolidated School District No. 202 (Plainfield South High School, 7800 Caton Farm Road)

BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet is working with five other communities on the Alternative Water Source Program to design and construct a pipeline to provide Lake Michigan water purchased from the City of Chicago to the region. This Program requires the City to provide modifications to its water system to enable the delivery of Lake Michigan water throughout the City. These modifications include the addition of a booster pumping station and water transmission main at the existing water storage tank site located at Plainfield South High School. Plainfield Community Consolidated School District No. 202 owns the land at 7800 Caton Farm Road adjacent to the existing water storage tank site and has agreed to grant to the City easements on the District Property including a permanent easement for construction and installation of the new water transmission main and temporary easements for the periods of construction and installation of the water transmission main and the booster station. The terms of the Easements and in-kind consideration to be provided by the City to the District in exchange for the Easements have been agreed upon in an Easement Agreement for Water Transmission Main between the City and the School District, which is attached to the Resolution.
