Manhattan, Ill., kicks off critical water and sewer infrastructure project
(UI) — The Village of Manhattan has officially broken ground on a major water and sewer infrastructure project funded by Will County’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Oct. 10, at the future site of the Manhattan Fire Protection District and Village of Manhattan Public Works Facility at Eastern Avenue and Smith Road.
This project aims to improve essential public services by installing new water and sewer lines to support the Manhattan Fire Protection District's operations and prepare for the construction of a new Public Works Facility. These upgrades are expected to help the village meet the growing demands of its population.
“We are excited to start this much-needed infrastructure project, which demonstrates our commitment to collaborating with local partners to save residents money,” said Mayor Mike Adrieansen. “With the support from Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and the Will County Board, we are able to strengthen our community’s infrastructure, improve public safety, and foster economic growth.”
Construction is set to begin shortly after the ceremony, with completion expected in early 2025. For more information about the project, contact Mayor Mike Adrieansen at 815-418-2100.
