STORM SEWER EXTENSTION PROJECT - BURLINGTON AVENUE

SUMMARY

PROJECT TITLE: Storm Sewer Extension Project - Burlington Avenue

DEPARTMENT: Public Works

START DATE (FY): 05/01/2023

END DATE (FY): 04/30/2025

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Burlington Avenue Storm Sewer Extension Project includes the preparation of contract documents to extend storm sewers on Schwartz, Devon and Winchester Avenues between Burlington Avenue and Ogden Avenue in order to tie into the trunk sewer to be constructed in the Burlington Avenue Reconstruction Project. These improvements are identified in the Village’s Stormwater Master Plan for the area north of Burlington Avenue, bounded by Ogden Avenue (north), Yackley Avenue (west) and the East Branch DuPage River (east). Village-owned storm sewer main exists within the southern right-of way of Burlington Avenue, with multiple laterals crossing Burlington Avenue to capture drainage within the northern right-of-way. The storm sewer drains toward the East Branch DuPage River and discharges into the river via an 18” outlet located under the levee and protected with flap gate(s) which close as the river rises to prevent storm water from backing up.

OPERATING IMPACT

Ongoing operational maintenance will continue such as catch basin cleaning and jetting but the new infrastructure will ensure reduced major maintenance costs.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES / STATUS

This project includes installation of storm sewer on Schwartz, Devon and Winchester Avenues between Burlington Avenue and Ogden Avenue and complete improvements identified in the Village's 2020 Stormwater Master Plan.
