title
Resolution Authorizing Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the County of Will and the City of Joliet for Funding of Improvements for the Fairmont Sewer System
end
BACKGROUND:
On September 3, 2019, the City Council approved Intergovernmental Agreements with Lockport Township and Will County to acquire the Fairmont Water and Sewer System in unincorporated Lockport Township. The area of the Fairmont Sanitary Sewer System that is tributary to the Canal Street Lift Station is constructed of vitrified clay pipe and has been prioritized for rehabilitation due to the excessive inflow and infiltration that is received at the Canal Street Lift Station. Cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining of the mainline sewer and manhole rehabilitation is recommended as the first phase of work to address this issue.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
An Intergovernmental Agreement has been prepared for the completion and funding of the sewer improvements identified. Per the agreement, Will County will commit $1,110,604.00 in funding via Community Grant funding, County CDBG funds, and Will County Land Use funding for completion of the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council adopt the attached Resolution, authorizing execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the County of Will and the City of Joliet.
