STRIKE HAS BEEN RESOLVED, CONSTRUCTION RESUMES!

The strike was resolved this week and new contracts between the unions and contractors have been signed and are in effect. The contractor resumed work this week!

The contractor began working on utility services this week. Every house is receiving a new 1.5” copper water service. A reminder: when replacing the water service, water to the house will be shut off for approximately 2 hours. The contractor will notify each house the day of the shut off. Sanitary and storm main and services spot repairs are also being completed at this time.

Strike Continues

As of this morning, the strike continues. The Unions and the Contracting Companies are still in negotiations and have not yet reached an agreement. It is our understanding that the next scheduled meeting is set for Monday, July 19.

We continue to ask for your patience and understanding during this time. We are continuing to monitor each construction site so that they remain safe to the general public.

As stated below, please do not hesitate to contact the Village Project Manager or the Capital Projects Department at (847) 998-9500.

STRIKE NOTICE

Dear Resident:

Thank you for your ongoing patience during the Village construction project adjacent to your home. At this time, the Village has been notified that Chicagoland Construction Labor Unions are going on strike. The conflict is between the Contracting Companies and the Unions, not involving the Village.

Work has therefore been temporarily shut down on your street. We are insuring that all construction sites are safe to the general public and will continue to actively monitor each site.

If any issues arise, or if you should have any questions, please contact the Village Project Manager or the Capital Projects Department at (847) 998-9500.

As of today, we do not have any information on how long this strike could last. We will inform you when this issue is resolved and work will resume.

Thank you again for your patience while this matter is resolved.

The water main on Terrace passed the pressure test, so the next step will be to chlorinate it and then once that passes, water services can begin.

Water main line has been completed on Meadowlark and Terrace. The water main was pressure tested and chlorinated. We are awaiting the results of the chlorination, and upon approval, the contractor will begin water services. See post from last week for explanation of a water service installation.

Water main line should be completed on Meadowlark and Terrace in the next week. Once the main line is installed, it needs to be pressure tested and chlorinated. It’s actually quite a simple test, in that the main is filled with water and pressurized to 150 pounds per square inch (psi). To pass the pressure test, pressure must be held at 150 psi for 2 hours. Once the pressure test passes, the water main gets chlorinated, to disinfect the pipe. Once the chlorination tests pass, the contractor can begin replacing water services. Residents will have their individual service turned off for approximately 2 hours when the contractor works on the service. All homes are receiving a new 1.5” copper service from the water main to the right-of-way (property) line. The contractor will inform each home owner the day of the individual service shut-off.

When a home’s water service is shut off for any amount of time, some air will accumulate in the pipe. When the water gets turned back on, it is good for the resident to slowly turn a faucet back on for a few minutes, allowing the air to escape.

Water main work is progressing smoothly on Meadowlark and Terrace and should continue for the next week or two.

Construction has Begun

Water main installation began on Wednesday at the intersection of Meadowlark and Knollwood. 8” Ductile Iron Pipe is being installed along with new fire hydrants and new water services. Each house will receive a 1.5” copper service from the main to the B-Box. This work will continue for several weeks.

Thank you to those that attended our Resident Information Meeting this week! The contractor plans to begin work next Tuesday with material delivery, layout and tree removal/pruning. The first on the schedule is to begin water main on Meadowlark.
