title
Resolution Authorizing Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the County of Will and the City of Joliet for Plumbing Requirements and Inspections Associated with the Southeast Joliet Sanitary District Water Meter Replacement Program
end
BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet is preparing for acquisition of the Southeast Joliet Sanitary District (District) water and sanitary sewer systems. The transfer of ownership of the District’s water and sanitary sewer systems will be accomplished via an intergovernmental agreement with Will County (County) and the District. The County will be providing funding via multiple sources to fund improvements in the District system.
One of the improvements being funded by the County is the water meter replacement program. Since the work on this project will be conducted in unincorporated Will County, it is subject to the County’s Building Code Ordinance and inspection requirements. However, because these plumbing components are connected to the City’s water system there is a need for the construction to be performed per City of Joliet requirements.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
An Intergovernmental Agreement between the County and the City has been prepared identifying plumbing specifications, permit requirements, and inspection procedures for work associated with the Southeast Joliet Sanitary District Water Meter Replacement Program.
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 for plumbing requirements and inspections associated with the Southeast Joliet Sanitary District Water Meter Replacement Program.
