The Village of Manhattan will hold a groundbreaking of a crucial water and sewer infrastructure project funded by Will County ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds. This significant event will take place on October 10, 2024, at 3:30 PM at the future site of the Manhattan Fire Protection District and the Village of Manhattan Public Works Facility, located at Eastern Avenue and Smith Road.
This project marks a pivotal step in enhancing essential services for our community. The installation of new water and sewer lines will not only support the operations of the Manhattan Fire Protection District but also lay the groundwork for the forthcoming Public Works Facility, ensuring that our public services can efficiently meet the needs of our growing population.
“We are thrilled to begin this much needed infrastructure project, which represents our commitment to working together with our taxing partners to save residents money,” said Mayor Mike Adrieansen. “Thanks to the support from Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and the Will County Board for providing ARPA funds. We can enhance our community’s infrastructure and improve public safety while also promoting economic development in our area.”
This infrastructure project is anticipated to begin construction shortly after the ceremony, with completion aimed for early 2025.
