Upcoming Water Main Improvements and Street Resurfacing on Crain Street

The City will conduct water main improvements on Crain Street from Ridge Avenue to Sherman Avenue over the next eight to ten weeks. Work will include water main replacement, water service replacement, minor sewer improvements, concrete curb and sidewalk repairs, street resurfacing, and parkway restoration.

Lead Service Line Replacement

The project will also include the replacement of all lead service lines into homes. To participate, property owners must sign a Right-of-Entry (ROE) form. If a property owner has declined to participate, the water service line will be replaced to the parkway, and a waiver will be requested.

To obtain an ROE form, individuals can call 847-448-4311, email water@cityofevanston.org, or visit the website. The replacement of the lead service line into homes is free for those who participate and submit an ROE. Once an ROE is received, a representative of the contractor will be in contact to schedule a meeting to check the service line material and address questions.

Schedule of Work

Work is anticipated to begin within the next two weeks. The exact date construction activities are scheduled to begin will be noted on temporary construction zone "no parking" signs posted a minimum of 48 hours in advance of the work. Due to testing, inspection, and work sequencing requirements, construction will not operate continuously for the duration of the project. Site activity levels will vary from week to week.

Parking will be prohibited during daytime work hours, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., while construction is taking place. Street sweeping parking restrictions will be waived for a one-block radius around the construction zone when temporary daytime no parking is in effect. Every effort will be made to
complete the work in a timely manner to minimize any inconveniences caused by the construction.

Contractor

The contractor for this project is Bolder Contractors, Inc., located at 316 Cary Point Drive, Cary, IL 60013.
