Village board moves on 2016 stormwater projects By Joan Rykal | FOR THE BUGLE Less than six months after Westmont residents approved a referendum that allows a 0.5 percent sales tax increase to help fund stormwater projects, the village has identified several such projects for 2016. At the Sept. 3 village board meeting, trustees approved a $38,870 engineering agreement with Engineering Solutions Team for Phase I design and engineering services for the Naperville Road and Warwick Avenue Stormwater Management Project. Over the last several years, the village said that area has experienced flooding conditions due to inadequate drainage conditions. see ‘DRAINAGE’ on page 3
Proposed Project Study According to village documents, Warwick Avenue Stormwater management Project study will include: • Topographic field surveys; • Development of base sheets to facilitate the study and design processes; • Geotechnical investigations and report; • Utility investigations; • Explore three drainage solutions concepts; • Develop preliminary drawings for the three drainage solution concepts; • Permit investigations; • Coordination with the Westmont Project Team and one public information meeting; and • Complete drainage study report, examining the costs and benefits of the three alternates.
