Johnsburg Awards Sewer Contract

A communication from the Village of Johnsburg:

Fairview Avenue in Johnsburg

SEWER CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AWARDED

At Thursday night’s board meeting, the Village Board accepted a bid from Glenbrook Excavating to install gravity sewer along Fairview Avenue from Chapel Hill Road to Church Street.

Construction is expected to begin in September and last through November.

This project is possible because of Federal and State funding the Village has received to further our sewer collection system project.

The Village awarded a contract to Glenbrook Excavating to install gravity sewer along Fairview Avenue from Chapel Hill Road to Church Street. Construction is expected to begin in September and last through November.

Fairview Avenue, between Chapel Hill Road and Johnsburg Road, will be closed to thru traffic during parts of the construction and surrounding streets such as Sunnyside Beach, Long, Middle and Stubby will be limited to local traffic only.

Thru traffic will be directed to utilize Chapel Hill Road and Johnsburg Road in lieu of Fairview Avenue. Residents residing on Fairview Avenue will still be able to travel to and from their homes and will be notified of construction activities.

This project is possible because of Federal and State funding the Village has received to further our sewer collection system project.

The Village would like to thank Senator Pamela Althoff for her efforts in securing the State funds that were just recently released.

The Federal funds were secured through the efforts of former Congresswoman Melissa Bean to whom we are also grateful.

By installing this infrastructure, we will be that much closer to bringing sewers to more than 400 residents in our community.

The Village continues to work to find additional grant opportunities to help offset the cost to bring wastewater treatment to other neighborhoods throughout the Village.

If your neighborhood is interested in learning more about connecting to the Village’s wastewater treatment system, please contact Village Administrator, Claudett Peters at 815-385-6023 or cpeters@johnsburg.org
